Gary Neville backs Manchester United for Premier League title

Gary Neville has backed his former club Manchester United for Premier League success in the forthcoming season.

The Sky Sports pundit said that the additions of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba to the Red Devils squad, coupled with the arrival of manager Jose Mourinho, make the club frontrunners for the title.

"I will say Manchester United for the title with Arsenal in second, Manchester City in third and Liverpool fourth," he told Sky Sports News.

"In signing Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba they have players of stature and arrogance - in a good way - and, historically, United have always needed players with big personalities.

"Ibrahimovic is an important signing for Manchester United. They are not getting him in his peak, but in the last two or three years the club has deteriorated in performance and also in entertainment, which is a fundamental at United."

United have spent more than £160m on players this summer following their world-record £89m capture of Pogba from Italian giants Juventus.
