Gary Neville’s judgement of Arsenal throughout this season has simply been incorrect, and seemingly favourable to Manchester United who have had a disastrous season compared to the Gunners. His misjudgement of these north London side started at the start of the season in August.
Firstly, his analysis of Ben White and why he would struggle in the Premier League has been completely inaccurate. The Englishman has been quality for Arsenal this season and is a big reason why Mikel Arteta’s side has kept the most clean sheets in this campaign compared to any previous season under the Spaniard.
While Arsenal have had a disappointing end to this season, even when the Gunners were thriving, Neville’s takes have always been poorly judged, and extremely negative. This was epitomised when he predicted Manchester United to overtake Arsenal in the top four race with no evidence that the Red Devils had any quality to fight for a place in the Champions League.
