Gary Neville: Luis Suarez is a "nasty little player"

Gary Neville concedes that he would love to have a "nasty little player" like Luis Suarez in his team.

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has described Liverpool striker Luis Suarez as a "nasty little player".

However, ahead of today's meeting between the two rivals at Old Trafford, Neville has conceded that the Uruguayan frontman is the sort of footballer that he would want in his team.

"Opposition fans despise him and he would be a nasty little player to go up against," he wrote in the Daily Mail. "I know that if I was up against him at Old Trafford today, there would be a confrontation.

"But I'll tell you something else: he's exactly the kind of player you would want in your team. And, as a fan, you would love to see him on your side.

"When I look at Suarez I see one hell of a footballer - this is no show pony. This is a player who doesn't know when he's beaten."
