Manchester United legend Gary Neville has entered the controversy around Arsenal midfielder Alex Iwobi.

Iwobi was pictured in the early hours of Friday at a party where it was reported drugs were being taken before Arsenal's FA Cup exit at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Neville has waded into the debate on when players should be allowed to go out prior to matches.

The former Manchester United and England defender took to Twitter to claim stars can enjoy themselves but only a week before a game.

Neville tweeted: "It used to be 48 hours 25 years ago. I would suggest now 99% of players wouldn't go out to a club 4-5 days before a game.

"At United when I played towards the end I would say Saturday night is ok when you have a game the Saturday/Sunday after."
