Manchester United Gary Neville has taken to Twitter to celebrate after the Red Devils drew level on points with Premier League leaders Liverpool.
United defeated Aston Villa at Old Trafford in Friday’s late kick-off to match Liverpool’s points tally, though Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men still trail the champions on goal difference.
Being mathematically second wasn’t going to dampen Neville’s spirits, though. The Sky Sports star watched the contest from the commentary position this evening, before getting the celebrations underway post-match.

Soon after the full-time whistle had blown and Man United moved up to second in the Premier League table, Neville took to Twitter with a quite hilarious clip of him opening a bottle of champagne.

He knows better than most, though, that there’s no prize for being in second place, nor is the Premier League decided by how the table stands on New Year’s Day.
There’s still plenty of work left to be done…
I think Gary”s reaction is more relief that UTD have reeled” in Liverpool”s lead. Most UTD fans didnt think the team (MUFC) or the Manager had it in them to get into the top 4, let alone compete with Liverpool,its better football at the moment and the players are gelling more now more than ever,theres still a long way to go, but OLE at the moment seems to have at least one hand on the wheel.
