Gary Neville has responded to Des Lynam's sensational claim that he should become the new Manchester United manager. Former Match of the Day presenter Lynam suggested that Neville is the ideal candidate for the job given his passion for United, his personality and his business sense.

However, Lynam's claim was widely mocked, especially given that Neville's only previous experience as a manager was his disastrous spell in charge of Valencia in the 2015-16 season. United have failed to win the Premier League title since the retirement of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013 and their struggles have continued this campaign.

Erik ten Hag was sacked in October, with Ruben Amorim being brought in to replace him. Lynam, though, doesn't believe that Amorim is the answer to United's problems and feels that former Red Devils defender Neville should be appointed instead. Gary Neville has responded to Des Lynam's claim he should be the next Man United manager.

Former Match of the Day presenter Lynam made the claim regarding Neville this week. Lynam believes Neville would be better equipped for the United job than Ruben Amorim. Lynam wrote in The Telegraph: 'Neville would still be the best man for the job. 'He has Manchester United blood running through his veins. He is deeply hurt by the club’s present predicament.
'He has a powerful personality and would be a strong presence in the dressing room. Oh and the money men had better watch out, Neville is an astute business man. 'My plea to him was over three years ago but as the men with their furrowed brows took their temporary residence in the United dugout, Neville has remained the best candidate, in my mind.'.
