Gary Neville insists Man United's senior players were MORE professional than Liverpool's during the 90s... claiming the Reds stars were 'BIG drinkers' and would stay out at nightclubs until 5am on a Wednesday!

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has claimed that his former team were more professional than bitter rivals Liverpool during the 1990s, labelling the Reds' senior players as 'big drinkers'.

Neville came through United's youth ranks to play a key role for the Manchester club during the decade, helping iconic manager Sir Alex Ferguson win five Premier League titles, three FA Cups and one Champions League between 1992 and the turn of the millennium.

Needless to say, the 1990s was a hugely successful period for Neville, who went on to make over 400 appearances for the club, and the England defender is convinced that his team-mates' professionalism gave them an edge over Liverpool.
