NEVILLE ON ‘SUPER LEAGUE’
Gary Neville had some harsh words for the Premier League clubs that have signed up for the proposed ‘European Super League’.
Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and two other sides are understood to be involved in plans.
On Sky Sports’ commentary of Man Utd vs Burnley, he said: “I cant’ focus on the game.
“They should deduct points from all six teams that have signed up to it.
“Deduct points off them all. To do it during a season? It’s a joke.”
HALF-TIME STATS
Man Utd have seen more of the ball, but Burnley have arguably had the best chances of the half through Wood.
Both sides are favouring the left and right flanks inside the final third – Burnley’s best chances have come from Lowton swinging in crosses!
