Former England international Phil Neville feels though Everton have the players to hurt Manchester United, the Red Devils’ current level of performances make them the favourites this weekend.
Though Louis van Gaal’s men suffered a narrow defeat at Chelsea last Saturday, their performance was widely praised as they dominated large parts of the game at Stamford Bridge.
Regardless of performances, Manchester United will look to get back to winning ways against Everton this Sunday at Goodison Park and Neville is expecting a good attacking game from both sides.
The former Everton captain feels that Roberto Martinez’s men have the flair players to hurt Manchester United at Goodison Park but feels if the visitors continue to maintain their recent level of performances, then they should bag all three points this Sunday.
"I can see it being an entertaining game”, Neville told the club’s official website.
