New United signing Odion Ighalo is on the bench at Chelsea after linking up with his new team-mates on Sunday.
A lot was made of the move, with Neville admitting the Red Devils signing Ighalo shocked him.
When asked about United’s January transfer business and whether he was surprised, the Sky Sports pundit said: “The Fernandes [signing] not so much because they’ve been linked for a long time.
“I think United would have liked to have it done earlier in the window but when United come knocking teams know how desperate they are to get the deal done.
“Once they got him it was fine. I thought he did okay against Wolves, he switched positions in the second half, sat deeper and I thought it suited him more.
“Ighalo is the one that shocked everybody. We knew United were scrambling around because of the injury to [Marcus] Rashford.
