Liverpool might have won the Premier League in fine fashion but right now all the talk has been about Man United and their new-found form.
It’s safe to say that Man United have kind of stolen Liverpool’s thunder since the resumption, thanks to the way they have been slaughtering teams left right and centre in the Premier League.
And speaking about his former club’s recent run of form, Gary Neville has compared the Man United front-three with Salah, Mane and Firmino.
Neville told Sky Sports: “Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are matured, they are established, they are the real deal – the best front three in the Premier League. I was saying that even when Manchester City were winning the league.
“The three that United have got are not at the level of Liverpool’s front three yet, you wouldn’t expect them to be, but they have the talent and ability.
“There were questions whether Rashford was good enough, whether Martial was good enough and Greenwood hadn’t obviously emerged back then, but they are proving they are good enough, that they can play and that they will get better.
“The Liverpool front three are ahead, but it is exciting for Manchester United.
“If you believe in young players and give them opportunities in the positions they want to play in, you will be amazed what you can achieve.”
Man United are undoubtedly playing some eye-catching football and their front three have actually scored more goals than the Liverpool trio so far this season.
But the likes of Martial and Greenwood still need to put in a lot of effort if they wish to match the levels of Salah, Firmino and Mane.
Having said that, Roberto Firmino has been on a steady decline over the course of the current season and it will not come as a big surprise if Jurgen Klopp opts to bring in a direct replacement during the upcoming transfer window.
Man United are also trying to rope in a new centre-forward before the new season begins but with Martial in such fine form, we doubt if the OT outfit will be willing to spend.
