Gary Neville has admitted that the current crop of Man United players may be affected by the comments made by him and his colleagues on TV.
"At the moment it’s really difficult," said Neville in an interview at the premiere of 99, the three-part Amazon Prime documentary about Man United's treble-winning days.
"It mustn’t be easy for them having this history rammed down their throats and, to be fair, quite a few of us are on television and we’re talking about the team regularly so I can understand why that would be uncomfortable.
"I would hope that say, for instance, in three weeks when Manchester United play the FA Cup final against City, they see that as an opportunity to shock this country and probably the world by beating City in a final.
"It was an FA Cup that Sir Alex Ferguson won in 1990 that started off this successful period that we were part of. Why can’t this FA Cup against Manchester City?"
