Gary Neville believes Man City's owners should be 'applauded' for their work in the city and wants Manchester United to avoid a private equity firm.
The club remains up for sale with three bids on the table to buy Manchester United from The Glazer Family. Sir Jim Ratcliffe's offer could see two of the brothers remain at Old Trafford after the takeover is completed.
The offer from Qatar would be a full buyout of United, in a similar vein to Abu Dhabi at Manchester City in 2008. City have enjoyed unprecedented success since then.
