“Pulisic, to me, is the next world star in the Premier League."
When it comes to getting a true compliment out of Gary Neville, this is about as good as it comes. For Christian Pulisic it was a massive moment: The USMNT star had come to the Premier League, took his time at the start and then truly burst onto the scene.
Neville's faith wasn't misplaced either. The 21 year-old had just registered the best goals and assists per90 tally of any player in the league his age or younger with more than 1,500 minutes. In effect, nobody in his circumstances was performing better. With nine goals he was the club's second top scorer that season behind Tammy Abraham.
