Manchester United legend Gary Neville is surprised seeing Daniel James already appearing a squad leader.

Neville has praised new signing Daniel James for his leadership abilities, but has criticised his teammates for not taking responsibility in the debate over Paul Pogba's failed penalty in the draw against Wolves.

"My biggest concern is that Daniel James, the youngest, most naive and newest United player seems like the biggest leader," said Neville.

"United are a young team, 24 and a half is the average age and basically there isn't a player out on that pitch who has said 'Paul, there you go.'

"Managers do allow the dressing room to take responsibility but even if the players decide amongst themselves surely the player who scored last week has to take it this week.

"It isn't like spin the bottle. I don't get it."
