The West Yorkshire club’s win at Old Trafford marks the first time they’ve done so in the league since 1981.
Speaking on Sky Sports after the game, Neville couldn’t help but praise Leeds for their “fully deserved” win.
“It's a monumental night for Leeds United. Farke will have been nervous about the fact that Leeds were going perilously close to relegation,” he said.
“I think this victory goes a long way to securing their Premier League status.
“They fully deserved it over the course of the 90 minutes. They were the better team.”
