Gary Neville sends Liverpool and Chelsea warning to Man City in title race prediction

Gary Neville has admitted that he was wrong about Manchester United target Declan Rice.

Gary Neville has admitted he got it "completely wrong" about Manchester United target Declan Rice in a frank post on social media.Rice, 23, has established himself as one of the best midfielders in Europe since breaking through at West Ham at the age of 17. The ex-Chelsea star is one the Premier League's most consistent players and an England regular under Gareth Southgate.His impressive performances for club and country have seen him attract interest from several of the game's elite, including his former club Chelsea and Manchester United.

West Ham are set to make a sensational swoop for Kalvin Phillips, who they see as the ideal partner for Declan Rice.The Hammers intend for the Leeds maestro to team up with Rice, in a move that would shock both sets of fans.They set to make a record-breaking £50 million bid to team up Kalvin Phillips with his England teammate Declan Rice, according to The Sun.It would be an offer from entirely out the blue - and one that, if it came off, would certainly appease a large majority of West Ham fans.An offer has already been sent, according to reporters, but David Moyes side are prepared to wait until the summer to get their man.Phillips has been out of action for Leeds, currently recovering from a hamstring operation. But this has not deterred West Ham from making such an incredible move.Moyes is a huge fan of the 26-year-old and sees him as a great signing to push up the table into that top-four spot.If the move materialises, the Irons will have one of the best central midfield pairings in the Premier League.Marcelo Bielsa, who developed Phillips to the player he is today with thorough fitness training, will not want to lose one of his key assets.But while West Ham are in the ascendancy, Leeds are in a relegation battle, their loss to Newcastle last week exacerbating the situation further.Rice has been heavily linked with moves away from the London Stadium, with Chelsea being considered the frontrunners before - while more recently, Manchester United have been on his tail.Can you see this transfer coming off? Tell us in the comments section.Gary Neville recently lauded Rice, writing on Linkedin that his previous perceptions of the player was wrong.He said: Don’t go too early.

Gary Neville has become one of the most recognisable faces and voices in football punditry and commentary.Whether it is in the studios, the gantry, or pitch-side, the former Manchester United captain has become known for his cutting-edge analysis and razor sharp opinions.His on camera debates and disagreements with the likes of former Liverpool stars Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness, as well as his ex-United team mate Roy Keane, often attracting more headlines than the very games they were analysing.However, as is often the case in opinion driven careers, Neville’s views do sometimes cut against the grain of Premier League supporters.And the former right-back issued an amusing response when the hashtag ‘GaryNevilleIsAT*****’ started trending on Twitter.“I know that” Neville bluntly responded to the social media masses.While Neville’s opinions on events on the football pitch are often met with fierce debate from his in-studio colleagues and supporters, his voice is also beginning to echo in matters outside of football. The 46-year-old has also began to use his vast platform and voice to criticise Boris Johnson and the current Conservative government.

People across the world look to Manchester for footballing greatness.

Gary Neville has revealed that Ruud van Nistelrooy left him in disbelief during his first Manchester United training session.The Dutch striker joined the Red Devils from PSV Eindhoven in an £18.5million deal in 2001, 12 months later than planned following a serious ACL injury, before going on to become a club legend.The former United forward hit an astonishing 150 goals in 219 games during his five-year stay in Manchester, establishing himself as one of the most clinical goal-getters in world football.Despite admitting that he didn't know too much about Van Nistelrooy prior to his Old Trafford arrival, Neville has since revealed that it didn't take long for the former United frontman to make his mark. "One I didn't know but we spent a lot of money on was Ruud van Nistelrooy," Neville revealed to Sky Sports during a transfer special.

Chelsea were back in 2003 after Roman Abramovich bought the club.There were genuine concerns that the Blues would just buy every world class talent on the planet and win the Champions League every year for the next decade.You see clubs had always been rich, but no one had ever had a (seemingly) bottomless pit of money to play with.The concept of a player's price-tag has suddenly been thrown out the window and there wasn't a player alive who Chelsea couldn't afford.As Jamie Carragher recalled during a recent Sky Sports segment with Gary Neville, "that first summer … I just remember being in the canteen at Liverpool, you'd come in after training and it felt like [Chelsea] signed a player every day."It was like 'Breaking News: Chelsea have just spent £30million on X, Y, Z' … it was astonishing."The Blues spent over £150million that summer, bringing in the likes of Claude Makelele, Joe Cole, Damien Duff, Hernan Crespo and Juan Sebastian Veron.Although Abramovich's first proper attempt to upset the apple cart came when he made an audacious approach for Real Madrid striker Raul.Just a week or so after his takeover of Chelsea was completed, the club lodged a £71.4million bid for the Spaniard.Would Chelsea have won the Champions League earlier if Raul had joined them in 2003? Let us know what you think in the comments section below...To put that into perspective, the offer would've absolutely smashed the world transfer record at the time, which was £45million - a record that wouldn't be broken for another six years.It was a shot across the bows of football's financial establishment.

Gary Neville quipped that Steven Gerrard "wasn't loyal" to Liverpool due to his failed move to Chelsea during a discussion with Jamie Carragher over tapping up team-mates on international duty, but failed to have the same success with his own attempts to convince him to sign for Manchester United.Gerrard spent the majority of his 18-year playing career at Anfield, but it's well known he came close to joining Chelsea back in 2005 when the Blues were at the peak of their powers under Jose Mourinho.The move fell apart at the 11th hour - and Gerrard remained at Liverpool until he eventually left the club in 2015 to finish his career in MLS with LA Galaxy.However, that wasn't the only time Gerrard was offered the opportunity to leave Anfield for a Premier League side. Neville has now admitted that he tried to convince the Liverpool captain to join him at Old Trafford - in a similar way to how he'd attempted to talk poach both Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer for Sir Alex Ferguson's side.
