Manchester United legend Gary Neville has admitted that he has been left stunned by the progress of Noni Madueke since his move to Arsenal.

The former England defender, speaking on The Gary Neville Podcast, confessed that the winger’s impact at the Emirates has caught him off guard.

“Madueke, Eze… when you think about Martinelli and Saka, you thought they would dominate the right and left wing of Arsenal for the next five, ten years,” Neville said on Sky Sports’ The Gary Neville Podcast.

“Yet you’re watching two players yesterday, obviously Saka will come back in and Martinelli will play games as well… but Madueke is a lot better than I imagined and thought he would be. And certainly a lot better than Arsenal fans thought he would be.

“A couple of runs that he made for England on Tuesday night were a different level, they’re runs I thought, ‘ooh’. They’re runs… Arjen Robben used to make those runs against me.

“I’m giving you players where they’re a sort of level where you think, ‘ooh, I’m up against it, this is a different type of player’.

“I’m not saying Madueke is there yet, but his movement and the things that he’s doing are very, very good, and I’m talking from a full-back’s perspective playing against it.

“Eze looks like he’s got that little bit of something, he has got that something.”

Do you think selling Madueke was the right decision?
