Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville doesn’t see Nottingham Forest finishing in the Premier League’s top four this season. However, he praised Nuno Espirito Santo’s team as the biggest surprise of the campaign.

Forest currently sits third in the table, three points ahead of defending champions Manchester City. But with a tough run ahead, including a clash against Arsenal at the City Ground on Wednesday, their position is far from secure.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Neville said, “Nottingham Forest have been incredible, the story of the season. But I think they’ll struggle to stay up there.”

While hoping they can hold on, he predicted a top five of Liverpool, Arsenal, City, Newcastle, and Villa. He also believes teams like Chelsea and Villa could eventually overtake Forest in the race for Champions League spots.

“There are still 12 games left, and that’s a long time. I think it’s going to be a tough run for them,” he added.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola states that Footballer Matheus Nunes needs improvement as he is not fitting for a midfielder.

During a brief exchange with the reporters the manager speaks on Nunes stating “He can become a good right-back due to his physicality.”

“I think he’s not a player suited to midfield because he’s not clever enough in terms of composure, but he has incredible skills and is learning a lot.”

The biggest mistake for full-backs is when they don’t react to crosses to the far post, they are often caught out.

“But he defended really well against two or three crosses, such as when Bruno put one into the far post for Dorgu.”

“He has the awareness and physicality to perform in that role, so he can play there and help us a lot.”

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has raised concerns that the club could be forced to sell two of its brightest young stars — Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho — during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Scholes shared his thoughts following United’s goalless draw with Manchester City. He expresses doubts about the club’s financial strength to bring in the quality players needed to improve the squad.

Scholes questioned whether there’s enough money to make necessary signings. He said especially after co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s recent interviews, which hinted at financial strain within the club.

“It doesn’t feel like the manager will be handed a large budget,” Scholes said. “I have a feeling they might end up selling Mainoo and Garnacho. It would be a tough one to accept, especially Mainoo, who’s been at United since he was a kid.”

Scholes also pointed out that the lack of funds could be a major issue heading into the summer. Also, he noted that Ratcliffe had already mentioned the club was nearly out of cash before implementing cost-cutting strategies.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim responded to Gary Neville’s criticism following his team’s goalless draw with Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Although Manchester City dominated possession, neither side seemed particularly eager to claim all three points, resulting in a disappointing 0-0 draw.

Neville, a Manchester United legend, expressed his frustration with the performance, criticizing both teams for their lack of spontaneity and overemphasis on tactical shape. On Sky Sports, he commented, “They’re all so obsessed with shape… nothing off-the-cuff is happening in lots of games… This has got to stop…”

When asked about Neville’s remarks in a post-match interview, Amorim gave a calm response, saying, “I understand. I understand that Gary Neville is critical of everything!”

The draw left Manchester City in fifth place, still behind Chelsea, who also played out a 0-0 draw with Brentford earlier in the day. Meanwhile, United remained in 13th place, with 38 points from 31 matches, with just seven games remaining in the season.
