Man Utd legend Neville likens Blind to Keane

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has likened Daley Blind to his former teammate Roy Keane.

In his column in the Telegraph, Neville wrote: "'Screening players' have not offset these fundamental changes to the way defences work.

"Patrick Vieira of 10 years ago is now a Mikel Arteta. A Roy Keane is now a Daley Blind. And a Bryan Robson for England is now a Jack Wilshere.

"It's not the fault of the players. Wingers are full-backs, centre backs are central midfielders, goalkeepers are sweepers, No 10s are central midfielders and wingers are centre-forwards.

"You're talking about a completely different game."
