Manchester United legend Gary Neville admits Everton duo Steven Pienaar and Leighton Baines forced him into retirement.

Neville was at right-back for United for the 3-3 draw between the two sides in September 2010 as the Blues staged a sensational comeback from 3-1 down - with their final two goals the result of crosses from the left-hand side of the pitch.

"One of the games which drove me to retirement was at this ground against Baines and Pienaar," revealed the 85-cap Neville.

"They have a brilliant understanding, they know exactly what the other is going to do. They are fantastic together. Baines has been one of the top performers in the Premier League for the last five years. It is a really strong position for England."
