Gary Neville thinks Manchester United players won't react to obvious motivation for Liverpool fixture

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has issued a damning verdict on the club's current players ahead of their clash with fierce rivals Liverpool.

They visit Anfield on Tuesday night with the nightmare of their October mauling at the forefront of many memories, and the Reds have struggled to clamber out of the depths since whilst Liverpool have continued to go from strength to strength. Neville, who was a serial winner at the Theatre of Dreams during his playing days, believes the current crop of players "want the season to end."

He told Sky Sports: "I'm trying to think of whether these players would react to a motivation around protecting a historic treble or Manchester United are on 20 titles and Liverpool are on 19, to me that's really important that you remain a club that's won the most titles. I don't think these players will react to that.
