Gary Neville believes Manchester United fans should follow Liverpool’s recent past with Jurgen Klopp as an example to stay patient.

The Red Devils faithful are understandably concerned after a poor start to their season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

United are currently 8th in the Premier League standings despite collecting a 4-0 sweeping victory over Chelsea in the opening day fixture. It seems like Solskjaer’s underwhelming run from the final parts of last season is still continuing onto this one.

Neville has urged the fans to remain patient, however, citing reasons behind their close rivals. He said, “Solskjaer is working more with a squad like the one Klopp picked up at Liverpool than the one Guardiola inherited at City. From that point of view this is going to be a long game at Old Trafford and it’s going to be frustrating at times.

“There are going to be results like Southampton, Wolves and Crystal Palace along the way. But when you watch the team a lot of the principles are correct. They seem to be playing the right way. You see Daniel James score that goal (at St Mary’s) and you see the way in which they are trying to play.

“The style of it is right. The bones are there but there’s still a very long way to go. It’s going to be bumpy along the way.”
