Neville said that, based on previous times when a legendary manager left a club, he feels that Liverpool will inevitably experience a downturn this season due to Jurgen Klopp's exit.
"My view would be that the impacts of Klopp will take its toll just going off evidence of history," the former Man United defender said.
"That's it. Evidence of history of a manager like that leaving at some point, I think there'll be some pain this season for Liverpool, and it could cost them."
Neville went on to say that Liverpool's forward line is better than Manchester United's, but the Red Devils have a better midfield.
"Liverpool have got far better forwards, that is the thing that they do have," said Neville.
"If I look at Manchester United's midfield players, if you add I think equal coaches, and we don't know what Erik ten Hag and Arne Slot are going to match up like.
"I do think Liverpool, with Endo, Szoboszlai and MacAllister that they've done unbelievably well to get the performance levels out of those three that they have, Jurgen Klopp."
"I really do question that that midfield is going to stand up throughout the season and if it does again I take my hat off to them. Well done. Unbelievable. Prove me wrong.
"I think Manchester United have got more in midfield. I think they've got more depth, and they've got good players in there.
"Kobbie Mainoo, who's coming into that now, alongside Casemiro, Fernandes is in there, Mason Mount's in there. McTominay is in there."
Carragher, meanwhile, tipped Manchester City to retain the Premier League for a fifth consecutive season.
Neville, however, said that Arsenal will win the English top flight for the first time since 2004.
"They're just getting better, they're getting nearer, and I don't know, I feel they'll do it," Neville said.
"I feel they'll do it at a certain point. And look, you can never be 100 per cent because of what Pep Guardiola does. He wins all the time."
"But I feel Arsenal getting so close, and they're so consistent that this could be the year."
