Phil Neville Thinks Manchester United Have Best Front Three In The League

Manchester United have been in excellent form as of late. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have strung together an impressive run of results, even accounting for the relatively kind fixture list.

They are now very much in the thick of the Champions League race, something that looked unlikely at the turn of the year. Bruno Fernandes has stole most of the headlines during this period, but the front three has been in fantastic form.

Mason Greenwood has established himself as a threatening Premier League striker, Marcus Rashford has continued to shine, while Anthony Martial looks to have finally discovered the type of form in front of goal the club's supporters have long hoped he would.

All in all, they are an incredibly potent trio.

Are they up there with the best in the Premier League? You would imagine they would have to perform like this for a much longer period of time before they could be considered as such.

Liverpool have been the gold standard in that regard for the past couple of seasons, with Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mané the cream of the crop. Manchester City also have a claim to that crown when all their players are fully fit.

However according to one man, Manchester United's front three are better than all others in the league.

Speaking on Match of the Day last night, Phil Neville said his former club have the best front three in the Premier League.

I looked at it at the start of the lockdown and thought: What areas do United need to invest in to close the gap to Man City and Liverpool?'.

Straight away I thought of the centre-forward [position]. But them two are now causing Ole that big of a problem.

They're the best three – with Greenwood – in the league, up there with the Liverpool front three and the City front three.

I think they have the ability to interchange positions and link with each other. I don't see any better.

There is no doubt that Martial, Greenwood, and Rashford all very talented players. However, none of them have proven that they can produce this form over the course of a full season. That isn't something you would say about the likes of Salah, Mané, Sterling, or Aguero.

They may prove themselves worthy to be considered amongst that bunch in the not too distant future, but any comparisons now are surely premature?
