Gary Neville likens Kai Havertz to a Liverpool legend as he hails the Arsenal star for becoming a 'really important figure' in Mikel Arteta's side

Gary Neville has likened Kai Havertz to a Liverpool legend of the Jurgen Klopp era after another impressive outing at Old Trafford.

The versatile German international set up Leandro Trossard for the game's only goal, taking his season tally to 19 involvements in the Premier League, as he continues to flourish under Mikel Arteta.

After his initial arrival from crosstown rivals Chelsea for £65million over the summer, Havertz was the subject of plenty of ridicule after spurning several good chances.
