'He's going to pass Gary Neville as a footballer': Rafael backs Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold to overtake the level of Manchester United legend and former team-mate

Former Manchester United man Rafael feels it is only a matter of time before Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold surpasses the level of Premier League legend Gary Neville.

Rafael, who played with Neville during his spell at Old Trafford, has risked the wrath of United fans by admitting the Liverpool youngster is on such a trajectory that he is 'destroying the Premier League.'

The Brazilian offered his thoughts to ESPN during a recent interview, outlining how Neville still remains the level to aim for, for all aspiring full-backs coming through in the professional game.
