Neville said following United's limp 1-1 draw against mighty Fulham that league leaders Chelsea could falter in the chase for the Premiership title.
Neville said: "If they (Chelsea) keep playing as they are for the rest of the season you'd have to hold your hands up but whether they do that remains to be seen.
"If they're being hunted by clubs like us, how will they do in April
and May?
"Three or four weeks ago we were eight to 10 points behind Arsenal and we could have gone two points behind them the other night," he said.
"We are strong enough to catch Chelsea and we are playing well enough."
