Manchester United legend and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has admitted it’s painful watching the success of Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp’s side won convincingly against Arsenal on Saturday and are already starting to pull away from United in the league.
The difference in quality between United and their oldest rivals has been hard to watch for a couple of seasons now, and the gap doesn’t look like it’s about to reduce either.
Liverpool are set to go head to head with Man City in the title race this season, while United’s main objective under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is to find a way back into the top four.
