The Gunners scored late on to grab a point at Old Trafford but were largely second-best and Neville isn't convinced about their title contentions
Gary Neville doesn't believe Arsenal will win the Premier League this season.
Speaking after the Gunners snatched a late point away to Manchester United, Neville praised Arsene Wenger's side for going 11 games unbeaten in the league but suggested they haven't shown enough in the big games to convince him they are on the brink of ending their 12-year wait for a title.
Arsenal were second-best for the majority of the encounter at Old Trafford and needed an 89th-minute Olivier Giroud header to clinch a draw follow Juan Mata's opening goal.
Defender Nacho Monreal was also lucky not to give a first-half penalty away when he appeared to drag down Antonio Valencia in the area.
Neville told Sky Sports. "They are a resilient bunch as they always end up getting back towards that second and third spot come the end of the season.
"I didn't get the impression today watching Arsenal that we were watching a team that would go on and win the Premier League.
"That is just how I feel in this moment. I watched them earlier in the season against Liverpool and I watched the game against Tottenham - I didn't feel I was watching champions."
