Gary Neville enjoyed a glittered Premier League career.
As a one club man, Neville made 602 total appearances for Manchester United across 19 seasons.
In total, Neville won eight Premier League titles, two Champions League winners medals, three FA Cups and three League Cups.
This is in addition to a FIFA Club World Cup and five PFA Team of the Year inclusions.
As a result of this impressive trophy haul, along with an infamous connection on the right hand side with David Beckham, Neville is lauded as one of the best right-backs in Premier League history.
Neville recently spoke on the current landscape of Premier League full backs.
Gary Neville reveals who he rates as the Premier League’s best right-back
Speaking on The Overlap, Neville gave his take on the Premier League’s current best right back.
Neville revealed that he thinks Arsenal’s Jurriën Timber is the best in the league at this current moment.
He said: “What I was thinking watching Arsenal vs Atletico, I was watching Lewis-Skelly, obviously Timber played, you’ve got Ben White and Calafiori, I thought all Arsenal’s full-backs are better than Liverpool’s, all four of them, that’s a big problem for Liverpool. Timber is the best full-back in the league at the moment.
“I think Timber is almost, in my mind, I would class as being… do you know the guy that plays for Real Madrid? Carvajal. For me, he’s the best. And I think Timber’s the nearest to him at the moment, I see, in terms of being able to do that bit and do that bit, do the forward bit well enough, but definitely cuts everything off down his side.”
Timber has enjoyed a brilliant start to the 2024/25 season, with two goals and two assists in eight Premier League appearances.
This includes the third-highest points tally for any defender in a single gameweek in Premier League history, with 24 recorded in their 5-0 win over Leeds United.
As part of a defence that has allowed just three league goals all seasons, this has been once again an impressive season at the back for the Gunners.
