That's totally normal. Almost all manual cars will do this. The pilot bearing isn't frictionless, so the input shaft is still turning. Even with the transmission in neutral, the fluids are turning and rotating the gears. You can put your hand on the tire and it'll stop moving. If not, it's because the pilot bearing is bad, hanging up, or misaligned.
