Neville admitted that he felt that Kante was 'finished' after leaving Chelsea, but agreeing with Keane, he thinks the midfielder was 'absolutely outstanding' on his return to the national set-up.
"He's sharp with his passing. He covers the ground, we know that. His decision-making is excellent. But he is neat and tidy with his passing. He loves a little one-two. He can pass it forward. He makes runs forward. He looked like a younger version of himself. He was excellent - that role is about football intelligence and he has it in abundance."
"He's not just a holding midfield player. He is everywhere on the pitch. He runs forward and Rabiot just sits back from him and balances it off. I thought he was absolutely outstanding tonight. The best player on the pitch - A few."
