Ex- Manchester United defender Gary Neville has admitted he is surprised his former side had not pushed harder to sign Liverpool duo Luis Diaz and Thiago Alcantara.
Both players are now first-team regulars at Anfield under Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, but that was not always the case for Thiago who took a fair while to adapt to life on Merseyside and also had to contend with a string of injuries. On the other hand, Diaz has wasted very little time when it comes to settling in and has received plenty of praise for his fast start.
Diaz has two goals in his first six Premier League appearances but it is the standard of his all-round performances that have left fans and pundits alike purring, Neville being no exemption. "It’s unbelievable that Diaz was going to Tottenham, he’s then gone to Liverpool – there’s not even been a mention of him going to Manchester United,’ the former Old Trafford star told Sky Sports.
