Newcastle draw hurt us most, says club captain
Manchester United's Gary Neville believes consistency will be the key to winning the Premier League title this term.
The Red Devils currently sit in eighth place in the league, six points off the pace but with a game in hand.
While they have tasted defeat at fierce rivals Liverpool, Neville believes the worst result so far was the 1-1 draw to Newcastle at Old Trafford in their opening game of the season.
The club captain told
MUTV: "The most disappointing result for us was probably Newcastle at home.
"You can always go to Liverpool and lose...even in seasons gone by when we've won the league, we've sometimes lost there.
"You never really accept it and you're always disappointed but those games you can lose, away to Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Drifting behind
"It's the game at home against Newcastle where we're probably drifting behind a little bit on the two points dropped but I'm sure we've got time to make that up."
Asked if Liverpool will be a serious threat in the title race this season, Neville added: "I hope not, but we don't know yet, do we? They've started well. They've had some good results - they beat us which was obviously disappointing and gave them some confidence.
"But it's a long season. We know the champions will come from Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea or ourselves.
"It's a case of who puts the most consistent run together. If we win our game in hand, then we'll only be three points behind the leaders so we're still in contention."
