The former Liverpool defender is the clear favourite in charity wager
A backstage charity bet between Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher is set to lighten Neville's wallet by £5000 at the end of the 2024/25 Premier League season.after Man Utd's 1-0 opening weekend win over Fulham.
"Me and Carra had a £5000 bet for charity," said Neville at Old Trafford in August. "Liverpool are going to finish above United, United are going to finish above Liverpool."after Man Utd's home defeat by Nottingham Forest, put his money where his mouth was before the Red Devils had played a game. Sky Sports anchor Kelly Cates and fellow pundit Roy Keane witnessed the wager before the Fulham game, after which Neville put his former captain on the spot by asking him who would win.
"I think United," came the inevitable but hesitant reply from Keane. Having seen them in action that night, it's doubtful he'd have staked £5000 on his prediction.Forest's pulsating 3-2 win over Man Utd was Ruben Amorim's first defeat in charge and left his team in 13th position in the Premier League, closer in terms of points to Southampton at the bottom than Liverpool at the top.
Man Utd have won just five times in the league this season and face neighbours Manchester City next weekend. They're already more than five wins behind the league leaders before fixtures against Bournemouth, Wolves and Newcastle complete the first half of the season.Neville's faint hopes of holding on to his cash aren't helped by the Old Trafford club being in fresh turmoil off the pitch.
