The 25-year-old is currently part of the squad in America for the Club World Cup and started the 2-0 win against LAFC on Monday night.

Neto scored the opening goal after a brilliant assist from Nicolas Jackson, and is expected to have a key role at the competition given he, Noni Madueke and Tyrique George are the only wingers in the squad.

Following the win against LAFC on Monday night Mikel praised Neto and believes the winger is a “fantastic” player who’s got “everything.”

“He’s quick, he’s direct, and that’s the thing I like about him,” he said on DAZN’s coverage.

“He’s a player that when he picks up the ball, he wants to go past defenders and create chances. He’s always trying to do something. This goal shows what a player he is.

“For the club to get him last season, I thought it was a really good piece of business. I think he’s only going to get better. He’s a fantastic player. He’s got everything.”
