Gary Neville says he would rather Manchester City win the title over Liverpool because he can’t bring himself to “say Liverpool”.
The Reds currently sit top of the Premier League after 19 matches with a four point lead over closest title rivals Manchester City.
Neville, who is a former Manchester United player and fan, admits it has been difficult to chose the better of two rivals this season.
He told Virgin Radio’s Chris Evans Breakfast Show: “I said a few years ago when they were both going for the title that it is like having a choice of two blokes you want to nick your wife! It’s not changed, it’s getting worse!
“Do you know something? I have had for the first time in a few weeks that some United fans want Liverpool to win the title because they don’t want to see City win back-to-back titles and start a period of domination.
“I can’t bring myself to say Liverpool, I just can’t. It’s going to have to be City.”
