Neville names his Premier League player of the season so far

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has reluctantly revealed that Liverpool centre-back Virgil Van Dijk is the player that has impressed him most so far this season.

The form of ยฃ75 million Holland captain Van Dijk has been one of the main reasons Jurgen Kloppโ€™s side have won six and drawn one of their opening Premier League fixtures.

Manchester United legend Neville has enjoyed a strained relationship with Liverpool fans over the years, but he admitted that he just canโ€™t deny how good Van Dijk has been at the heart of the Reds defence.

“Milner for Liverpool, who have been outstanding,” Neville told Sky Sports.

โ€œVirgil van Dijk: outstanding. But Van Dijk โ€“ worryingly โ€“ has impressed me more than anybody. Heโ€™s just a fantastic central defender.

Neville went on to reveal other players that have impressed him this season, although he did rather bizarrely mention Manchester Cityโ€™s Kevin De Bruyne, who due to injury has only actually made one substitute appearance so far this term.

โ€œLuke Shaw at Manchester United,โ€ Neville continued.

โ€œIโ€™ve been really pleased with him. Iโ€™ve got full belief in him and his talent. He just needs that break in terms of staying clear of injuries.

โ€œEden Hazard is a wonderful player. He probably is [the best in the league].

โ€œDavid Silva I love. De Bruyne is brilliant. [David] De Gea has been one of the top players over the last few years.

โ€œThese are the type of players who have impressed me most.โ€
