'You can talk about Mane-Salah-Firmino but Tevez-Rooney-Ronaldo was out of this world': Gary Neville says Manchester United's 'selfish, horrible and nasty' trio beats Liverpool's as the Premier League's best-ever front three

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has claimed that Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez is the greatest front three the Premier League has ever seen.

Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez played alongside each other at United between 2007 and 2009 and helped the club claim back-to-back Premier League titles during those seasons as well as the Champions League in 2008.

Liverpool's deadly trio of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah are widely seen now as one of the Premier League's best ever scoring partnerships.
