The United Kingdom government has given the Premier League the green light to resume the season from 1 June, but Neville believes English football is not ready to return in June due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Premier League are now pushing with plans on how to get the remaining 92 games completed, but Neville believes the season should start sometime later.
“I don’t think anybody is clear, in football or in the country,” the former Valencia head coach said on Sky Sports‘ Football Show.
“You’ve all seen the fallout of the rambling mess we had to witness on Sunday night,” the Englishman continued.
“It became a little bit clearer yesterday with the further info that was released, but I think the Premier League were hanging their hat on further guidance that they didn’t get.”
“Maybe at this moment in time they need to be thinking on a July start rather than a June start. We’re getting closer and closer to a deadline.”
The Premier League was suspended at the beginning of March in an attempt to check the spread of Covid-19.
Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top of the league table and are looking to win their first Premier League title.
