Man Utd legend Neville big fan of Arsenal fullback Bellerin

Manchester United legend Gary Neville is impressed by young Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin.

Neville thinks the Arsenal defender is finding his feet after solid performances against Manchester City and Aston Villa.

"The one that stood out most for me having watched him come back into the team against Manchester City and see him at close hand [against Villa] was Bellerin the full back," Neville said.

"He was thrust into the team in September [at Borussia Dortmund] and he really struggled. He looked like it was too early for him.

"He got put back into another big game against Manchester City and he was massively impressive.

"The first thing is - has he got speed? I was told he beat not only Walcott's record but Henry's record for over 40 metres.

"He's lightning quick. That gives you a great chance as a full back."
