Garry Neville - Manchester United defender Gary Neville has again reiterated his determination to win the elusive 19th Premier League title that would take his club ahead of Liverpool with the most league championship wins.
During his 18-year career Neville has won eight Premier League titles, and after three titles in the last four seasons, his team is on par with arch rivals Liverpool with 18 Championship wins.
During this time Neville has seen Blackburn, Chelsea and now possibly Manchester City use their extreme spending power to propel themselves into title contention, and the 35-year-old has also taken a small swipe at those teams.
"When I was a youngster, Liverpool won everything," said Neville, in a special interview for MUTV.
"It was horrible. Jealousy does come into it but I have more respect for their traditions than I would for some of the other clubs coming onto the scene throwing a load of money at it.
"Liverpool have got a history.
"The motivation has got to be winning the league. What a massive incentive we have to win it back.
"Last year we did not perform at our best at times. We had terrible injuries in defence.
"If we can just get our players to stay fit this season, we have got that 19th in front of us.
"To beat Liverpool would be fantastic. It would be massive for this club. We want to be the most successful club."
At 35 years old, Neville is in the twilight years of his career, and with injuries noticeably catching up with him, his playing days could be over sooner rather than later.
Possibly with that in mind, Neville is currently taking his coaching badges, but has admitted that he might not have the right personality to be a football manager.
"I am a bit too emotional to be a football manager," he said.
"If you look at Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes. They are quiet, considered and patient. They are probably more suited to modern-day management.
"I am doing my 'A' licence as a matter of course. It is what you should do.
"But at this moment in time, I haven't quite got the aptitude for it."
