Neville was among a string of United players past and present who posted their views on Twitter after the 2-1 win over Chelsea.
The former club captain, who retired from the game this season and has only recently set up an account on Twitter, posted a message on Sunday evening saying: “'While we're living the dreams we have as children fade away' Not if you support United!”
The line is a quote from the Oasis song Fade Away, penned by lifelong City fan Noel Gallagher.
While United still need one point to secure the league title, several of the current first team took to Twitter to vent their joy after the Chelsea win.
Wayne Rooney, who has changed his profile picture on Twitter to a Manchester United badge, tweeted: “What a result. Bounced back after last week. No 19 is a little bit closer. Think I'll have a glass of wine or 2 tonight. What a feeling.”
Striker Michael Owen, despite not taking in part in the win over Chelsea, was also swept up in the excitement: “Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Today was unbelievable by the lads. Celebrating the win with a few glasses of Red!”
He added that he thought his side had ‘blitzed’ Chelsea from the word go and that the result didn't do United justice.
Owen's excitement had subsided somewhat by midnight, as the striker offered a more level-headed approach: “Still need another point before we collect the prize so not counting our chickens just yet.”
Rio Ferdinand added his views later in the evening, responding to a congratulatory message from Arsenal fan Piers Morgan, stating that the title ‘wasn’t won yet.’
Ferdinand tweeted into early hours of this morning, telling fans at 10.41pm: “I'm gonna be up for hours as adrenaline is still pumping....I can feel a #barrage of tweets coming!!”
And sure enough, a barrage was what his 970,00 followers got, as Ferdinand began praising his team-mates.
“I swear I had to ask Park Ji Sung what he had to eat at pre match today....he put in a hell of a shift #mileage ! Pasta....”, he wrote and “20 goals in 1st season for Hernandez....WOW! You work hard you get your rewards - #simples”
A number of fans questioned whether Owen would receive a winners’ medal give his relatively low number of appearances, but he assured followers he would, before stating: “Don't deserve one as much as most of the team I know.”
He then jokingly added: “In saying that, I didn't get 2 medals when I won the FA Cup scoring 2 against Arsenal so I won't be feeling too guilty picking a medal up!”
