After the weekend results, in the Premier League, Manchester City sit at the top of the league whilst Manchester United and Arsenal are both just two points behind.
Ex- Manchester United captain Gary Neville, who is now a Sky Sports Commentator and Pundit, and England coach, has bet £5000 that Manchester United will finish above Arsenal.
The wager came following Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Manchester Untied in the Premier League, on Sunday. Piers Morgan, Television Host and avid Gunners fan, gloated Arsenal’s win on Twitter:
A very good morning to all my Utd friends.
