Gary Neville bets Piers Morgan £5,000 that Man United will finish above Arsenal

Former Manchester United full-back Gary Neville has bet TV host Piers Morgan £5,000 that his team will finish above Arsenal in the Premier League this season.

The rival clubs are currently on the same points in second and third in the table after eight games in the top flight.

However, the momentum is with Arsenal as they were able to secure a 3-0 victory over the Red Devils at the Emirates on Sunday.

Despite the result, Neville is confident that United will be in a better position than Arsenal come May, and is willing to give £5,000 of his money if proved wrong.

On Twitter, Neville and Morgan agreed that the loser will give the cash to their chosen children's hospital.

Done. If you lose, 5k to @GreatOrmondSt > @GNev2 Level on points! Bet Utd finish above Arsenal. 5k to Manchester Children's Hospital loser?
