GARY NEVILLE believes that Liverpool may have to wait for a takeover as Manchester United are a "better buy".
Both English football giants have been put up for sale by their respective American owners in recent weeks.
Liverpool have enjoyed far more on-field success in recent years under the stewardship of Jurgen Klopp.
While they have also thrived off it, moving into a new training base and upgrading Anfield.
Despite these factors, Neville believes that potential buyers will prioritise bids for the Red Devils – and not just because he's a United fan.

"Unless Liverpool have got something sorted, I think they're going to have to wait a little bit because I think the buyers will go to Manchester United first – unless there's a Liverpool fan who is very wealthy somewhere and has an allegiance to Liverpool.
"But I think if you were looking at both, as an asset side by side, you'd choose Manchester United and that's not me being biased as a Manchester United fan.
"Liverpool are in a better position on and off the pitch at the moment, but you cannot deny the scale of Manchester United.
"When you look at commercial revenues, Manchester United as an asset are a better buy.
"I think the owner will think if Manchester United get it right on and off the pitch and Liverpool get it right on and off the pitch, Manchester United will be bigger."
