Gary Neville has revealed he recommended Joao Cancelo to Manchester United but was ignored by his former club.
The former right-back managed the Manchester City star in his short spell as Valencia boss during the 2015-16 season. Even as a 21-year-old, Neville could see Cancelo would end up being something special.
And so it has proved. The Portugal international has enjoyed a superb campaign at the Etihad, sitting behind only Liverpool duo Trent Alexander-Arnold (12) and Andy Robertson (10) when it comes to assists made by a defender in the Premier League this season.
