Manchester City win legal battle against Premier League over APT rules
This case was separate from the 115 charges that are being heard by an independent panel that Premier League have brought forward on the club.
Although Manchester United had started their Premier League campaign in grand style by registering a 4-0 win against Chelsea, in the next couple of matches against Wolves and Crystal Palace they did not get the desired result.
One of the greats of Premier League giants Manchester United, Gary Neville, has in a recent statement, revealed the time he feels it might take Manchester United to reach the level at which sides like Liverpool and Manchester City are at currently.
Although Manchester United had started their Premier League campaign in grand style by registering a 4-0 win against Chelsea, in the next couple of matches against Wolves and Crystal Palace they did not get the desired result. While the match against Wolves was a draw, they had to face a 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace.
As Neville was talking about whether or not Manchester United can perform like their glory days, he stated, that it will take United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at least four to five transfer windows to build a team that will be in contention for the Premier League title.

“The most important thing about the transfer window for United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is that they don’t make mistakes, not that they do loads of business, but it’s about making sure they have the right type of players,” Neville told Sky Sports.
“It may seem like too far into the distance but I would suggest four or five transfer windows to get things absolutely right and get back to the type of squad he would want to challenge these Liverpool and Man City teams. I’ve said before, he’s got to be ready, not at the end of this season, not next season, but the one after, to challenge for the Premier League title,” he added.
“Potentially when Pep Guardiola has left Man City, or Liverpool have had another round of recruitment and another set of players in…Ole has got to be ready to pounce. It’s a long-term thing. There’s not going to be quick fix or magic wand from any manager.
“United have tried David Moyes, they’ve tried Louis van Gaal, they’ve tried Jose Mourinho, all proven and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is going down the long road, not the quick path.
“There’s no shortcut, there never is, and for me, it’s now about making it through these difficult moments, like losing to Crystal Palace and you feel like the world is going to fall in that but people must remain patient,” he concluded.
