The Red Devils refused to pay Tevez’s £25million asking price at the end of his two years on loan at the club and instead the 25-year-old joined rivals Manchester City.
Neville told The Sun: “The manager over the years has made many decisions with regard to players coming and going – and he has almost always been proved correct.
“Over a period of 20 years he may have got one or two wrong, and I think he has admitted that himself, but he knows exactly what he’s doing and he understands when a player’s time is up. I can’t disagree with his decision on Tevez. He was a good player for us but, if the financial demands are too big, then that’s just the way it goes.
“Other good players have left this club in the past, it’s not the first time it’s happened.
“We have the best manager in the world at putting teams together. He’s done it successfully for 20 years. There have not been many people who have questioned him over the years and been proved right.”
