Everton fullback Baines: Man Utd legend Neville great for England

Everton fullback Leighton Baines says Gary Neville's addition to the England coaching staff has worked wonders.

The Manchester United legend first joined Roy Hodgson's team before last year's Euros.

"It was a wise move to bring him in," said Baines.

"Gary didn't have a lot of experience in coaching but he had a ton of it from playing at the top level, playing in huge matches for club and country and working with top managers.

"You can't buy things like that.

"He is obviously a football man who thinks a lot about the game. All the players can go to him with any kind of problem and he can draw on his own experience."
