Gary Neville admits Leeds fans won't like his Tarik Muharemovic claim after draw vs Man United

Gary Neville is a big fan of Tarik Muharemovic after Leeds United's draw against Manchester United on Sunday.

The centre-back has become a key player for Daniel Farke and started his seventh straight Premier League game for the Whites on 19 October.

Bryan Mbeumo gave the visitors the lead in the 35th minute, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised soon after the break.

Neville was impressed with Muharemovic's display, especially some of his actions on the ball in the 1-1 draw at Elland Road.

The West Yorkshire outfit signed the Bosnia and Herzegovina international for 34million from Sassuolo in the summer.

After what the 23-year-old has shown so far, it's safe to say he's been worth every penny the Peacocks paid.

Gary Neville's unpopular Tarik Muharemovic admission at Leeds United

Muharemovic stood out against Man United, showing defensive solidity and contributing with an assist.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina ace was a constant aerial threat for the Whites at Elland Road.

Apart from the defender's usual traits, Neville was amazed by some of his passes and technical ability on the ball.

The Old Trafford icon feels there will be plenty of interest in the centre-back soon, which is something fans in LS11 won't want to hear.

Speaking on Sky Sports Premier League on 18 October, Neville said, "Muharemovic, he played a pass in the second half. Leeds fans won't like me for saying this, but there will be people after him.

"You see him on the ball. You saw the little thing he did? He's got something. You see someone drive at you. Good in the air. Good size about him. They've recruited well."

Tarik Muharemovic game in numbers vs Man United

Muharemovic grabbed an assist after heading the ball towards Calvert-Lewin from a corner, with the striker beating Senne Lammens in goal.

The centre-back made five defensive contributions, won his only ground duel and won five of his six aerial duels, as per Sofascore.

With the Whites dominating over 60 per cent of possession, the defender was heavily involved, recording 95 touches and 84 per cent passing accuracy.

Muharemovic created one big chance, played two key passes and recorded one successful dribble during his 90 minutes on the pitch.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina ace is a solid defender and good with the ball at his feet — exactly what top teams look for in modern-day centre-backs.
