There is no question that Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been the top two players of the recent generation. They dominated Spanish football for years but both look set to see out their careers away from LaLiga.
Neville is firmly in the camp who feel the Portuguese superstar just has the edge on his Argentine rival.
“I do think he is the greatest football player that has ever lived,” he continued. “That is not bias, that is just me looking at who I would want to trust to win me a football match in the most different ways, who is the most complete player.”
But the ex-England full-back stuck to his guns over whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will guide his men to glory this term.
“I can say I don’t think Manchester United will win the title. However, I caveat that by if that atmosphere and that spirit that I witnessed on Saturday, if that momentum builds, he could do something spectacular,” he stated.

“I don’t think it will happen because I think Chelsea or Manchester City have better teams at the moment than Manchester United.”
