Harvey joined the Spanish club in 2015 after his dad took up the chance to become their assistant coach.

Phil departed Valencia when brother Gary was given the axe as manager a year later.

But Harvey stayed put after being offered a new contract, and he is now being heralded as one of their most exciting young talents.

Super Deporte claims that Manchester United are keen on bringing him back to England after making an enquiry over the summer, with Tottenham also said to be interested.

Harvey was previously on the books at his dad’s old club before enjoying a spell at Manchester City, where he won the Premier League International Tournament.

And the winger’s technical prowess is catching plenty of eyes – even from the man he’s being compared to.

Former England captain Beckham was so impressed by Harvey's abilities that he commented on a video posted by good friend Phil on Instagram.

Beckham commented: “Great cross Philip, you been showing Harvey videos of me??”

To which Neville replied: “Yes mate, morning noon and night haha.”
