So I saw this today and decided to look into how effectively Gary Neville had predicted Man Utd finishes in recent years...
https://metro.co.uk/2020/09/03/gary-neville-predicts-where-man-utd-chelsea-liverpool-finish-premier-league-next-season-13218069/

2019/20: predicted fourth, finished third but only just about making top four. Seems fine. https://www.givemesport.com/1498559-jamie-carragher-and-gary-neville-give-their-201920-premier-league-predictions

2018/19: predicted third, finished sixth.

2017/18: predicted top two with a title race that could go either way, ended up second albeit a distant second. https://www.joe.co.uk/sport/gary-neville-reckons-the-premier-league-title-race-will-be-between-two-teams-134126

2016/17: predicted, at a push, first, ended up finishing sixth. https://tribuna.com/en/manutd/news/2020-05-29-gary-neville-and-jamie-redknapp-predict-their-premier-league-201617-top-four/

2015/16: predicted a "title challenge", finished fifth. https://metro.co.uk/2015/07/04/louis-van-gaals-manchester-united-can-mount-a-title-challenge-next-season-claims-gary-neville-5279311/

Can't find a clear prediction for 2014/15 or earlier, but this was his general mood at the time. https://twitter.com/GNev2/status/504716183695028224

Honestly I think everyone gets it. The serious part of all our brains short circuits when we look at our club and try to will success into existence.
