Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville believes that Granit Xhaka is a player who does not learn from his mistakes.

Xhaka was involved in an ugly incident with Arsenal fans when he was taken off in their 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace at home.

The crowd booed and jeered as Xhaka came off, along with sarcastic cheers.

Rather than hold his hand up for his poor performance, Xhaka told the crowd to "f*** off."

"I struggle with Xhaka full stop," Sky Sports pundit Neville said.

"I have never watched a player who seems to learn less from his experiences than Xhaka.

"He makes, must be, 400 mistimed challenges a match, he essentially gets booked every single time I watch him.

"He doesn't seem to set the tone for the rest of his team-mates with his performance levels.

"So what happened on Sunday doesn't surprise me because ill-discipline, he has been riddled with it."
