Former Manchester United favourite Gary
Neville feels the current side's credentials will
be thoroughly examined in the coming weeks
as the focus returns to domestic football after
the international break.
Louis van Gaal's side are at West Brom on
Monday night before facing back-to-back
showdowns with title favourites Chelsea and
Manchester City.
Neville, speaking to ManUtd.com at the HMV
Football Extravaganza in London that honoured
Ryan Giggs' achievements in the game, is
clear that the barometer for success will be
provided soon, particularly by Jose Mourinho's
Barclays Premier League leaders.
"I think it's an exciting time," he explained. "It's
going to be an important few weeks but
exciting as well. We'll find out in the next few
weeks as the West Brom, Chelsea and City
games are all massive ones that I'm going to
be at and my thought is we'll find out exactly
[the level] where the team is at this season.
"It's going to be tough for United to get into the
Champions League and that would be a big
achievement. At this moment in time, we're in
the places in fourth spot but we'll find out
where we're at in the next few weeks.
We've
not really played anybody really strong yet. I
know Everton at home could be classed as
being a tough game but, in terms of really
tough matches, Chelsea and City will provide a
real measure of where this team is at."
