'Top four & a trophy is success' - Neville sets Man Utd target that would have been ‘unacceptable’ under Ferguson

The former Red Devils defender admits the club have to challenge for the Premier League title in the future, but sees a big rebuilding job ahead

Gary Neville admits it is “unacceptable” for Manchester United to be setting targets below becoming champions, but feels “top four and winning a trophy would be a successful season” in 2019-20.

The Red Devils have endured a humbling fall from grace since Sir Alex Ferguson headed into retirement back in 2013.

A side so accustomed to challenging for major honours has become an also-ran, with a sixth-place finish last season leaving them empty-handed on the trophy front and without Champions League football.
