Neville on...the nature of the Premier League
"In the principal half of the Leeds game, I paused for a moment and was wondering about the speed, quality and air. We generally will in general think back and say there was more handling during the 80s and 90s, it was all the more genuine, remaining on the porches. In any case, what I've found in the initial a month of this season, takes some beating as far as quality. This is just about as great as I've seen.
"We praised the players for being splendid through Covid last season in troublesome occasions and every one of the fans frustratingly watching at home. It was frantic on occasion without any fans in the arena. Be that as it may, it's more than compensated for it toward the beginning of this season - it's a convincing watch. Furthermore, Ronaldo returning has put the cherry on top of a generally excellent cake."
Talking on Monday Night Football, Neville added: "I don't think I've seen, in Premier League history, four groups as great as the best four we have right now. Furthermore, I don't think I've seen the Premier League this great as far as quality.
"We could have the four best groups in the entire world as of now. Liverpool's first XI, on the off chance that they can keep that fit, is perhaps the best XI in the Premier association. Also, Liverpool aren't in any event, being discussed right now! City's group is extraordinary, Chelsea are solid like you wouldn't accept, and Man Utd, with the expansion of Ronaldo, Sancho and Varane, will be directly in there among it.
"We've never really had a title race of four groups, this could be a monstrous ding-dong this season. The games we've been watching are great, the airs are acceptable, the quality is acceptable, the speed of the game, the physicality of the players. [What] we are seeing right now is totally high level."
Neville on...Cristiano Ronaldo fever in Manchester
"I entered Manchester's downtown area on Saturday morning and I've not considered it to be alive for five or 10 years. How he's dealt with the Premier League for interest is invigorating however for the city, he's totally made it buzz with energy - and this was even before he scored the two objectives.
"I was at Salford and saw the news that he scored. I could hardly comprehend what the air resembled and I addressed several individuals who were there and they said it was unbelievable, bobbing like they've never seen it. What's more, Salford scored as of now which implied it was the ideal football day."
"That Liverpool midfield wasn't maybe the most athletic or portable - he might have played Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Naby Keita to coordinate with Leeds up. Be that as it may, it was about self-restraint. It helped me to remember the manner in which Paul Scholes played at Anfield. There would be a mad spell in the game and all of abrupt there would be a little person in the pitch who might get his foot on it and there would be quiet and harmony. Michael Carrick could do likewise. What's more, Thiago did likewise today. Today was an illustration of what he has been endorsed to do. At the point when it's mad and frantic, put your foot ready and play the pass that opens the game. He did that."
Neville on...Chelsea being hard to stop
"There is an inclination about Chelsea. They keep clean sheets, their striker is ensured to score, there's a decent midfield. They will be undeniably challenging to stop. The discussion will be about Manchester. Kick Guardiola, Ronaldo, yet everybody realizes Chelsea are not kidding. I watched them at Anfield and it was a genuine exhibition. It's a splendid Premier League. I'm anticipating see what occurs in the following not many months. We simply need to allow it to create - everybody will need to attempt to anticipate the bosses this early. Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea yet Liverpool are truly in it. They truly are in it."
