TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Manchester United can win the Premier League title, says Phil Neville as reported by BBC Sport.

United claimed their sixth successive win by beating Liverpool 3-0 on Sunday and lie third, eight points behind leaders Chelsea and five adrift of Manchester City.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live on Monday, the former United assistant coach was asked if they could win the league.

"Yes they can," he said. "The players believe that they can win the title and so does Louis van Gaal."

Neville, who won six Premier League titles as a player at Old Trafford, was part of the coaching team under David Moyes last season.

United ultimately finished in seventh place, but Neville said the team spirit showed after last Monday's win at Southampton made him believe Van Gaal's side can triumph.

"It was at the end of the game, when they celebrated with the supporters," he said. "Van Gaal went down there, Ryan Giggs went down there, the goalkeeping coach went down there.
