        Neville has never called players by their first name or nickname during a match. He’s only biased with his predictions, not when commentating on a game

      The only thing this goal guarantees is that United are ahead.
      Many things can happen and B.F. have many routes to points.

    Haha, Neville rather talk about issues in Van Dijk's defending than the quality of the pass and shot of Amad/Mbeumo. Kinda tells you how dominant Van Dijk is.
