Everton legend Neville: Barkley primed for big Euros

Everton legend Phil Neville is backing Ross Barkley for a big Euros.

Neville believes his former Everton teammate can announce himself to the world in France.

Neville, speaking exclusively to Carlsberg, said: “I've got a sneaky feeling for Ross Barkley. I'm not sure he will start the tournament but he is capable of producing moments of magic in the tournament. He can set the tone and he's a match-winner.

"Other nations won't know too much about him though he did bits in Brazil and now it's time to produce. He has grown over the last twelve months at international level and Roy is beginning to trust him. The way he bursts past players effortless. He now has to do it consistently and on the biggest stage."


Phil Neville met England fans at The Three Lions pub in Manchester as part of Carlsberg's 'Pubstitutions' campaign. Read the full interview with Phil Neville here including his thoughts on how Rashford can have the same impact this summer as Owen in '98.
