Manchester United legend Gary Neville singled out Chelsea centre-back Thiago Silva for praise following his impressive performance for Brazil in their 1-0 victory over Switzerland.

“I don’t know how Thiago Silva, at his age, is still pushing up that pitch,” Neville told ITV about the 38 year old Chelsea centre-back.

“I think back at my career, to get in front of your forward all the time, to try and win it, is one of the hardest that you try and do – he is still doing that late into his thirties – it is unbelievable.”
