Neville vows United will up pressure on Arsenal

MANCHESTER UNITED defender Gary Neville vowed to increase the pressure on Arsenal in the race for the Premiership title [[[[—]]]] and warned: "We're not going to go away easily."

The Red Devils appeared to have handed champions Arsenal a crucial advantage before the new year with defeats at Middlesbrough and Blackburn.

But they have clawed their way back and Wednesday night's 1-0 win at Birmingham courtesy of Ruud van Nistelrooy's 26th goal of the season for his club means they are now just three points adrift of Arsene Wenger's side.
