Gary Neville has warned Manchester United fans that Erik ten Hag has a long way to go until he can rub shoulders with Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea. The German boss transformed the Blues into European and world champions inside 16 months of taking helm at Stamford Bridge.
He's enjoyed a healthy 66% win-rate with west Londoners, despite having been granted just one outfield signing of his own. Despite Tuchel's misfortunes in the transfer market, he's fast-tracked Chelsea and armed the club with the blueprints to combat powerhouses Manchester City and Liverpool.
There remains a 16-point disparity between the Premier League title challengers and the west Londoners. But, Chelsea, who sit third, are currently relishing a eight-point advantage over United, who sit sixth, in the race for Champions League qualification.
