Sponsored by. GARY NEVILLE has begged legendary football presenter Des Lynam to stop touting him for the Manchester United job. The former Red Devils defender, 49, briefly went into management after hanging up his boots in 2011. Neville played over 400 times for United, winning eight Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues, and three FA Cups.
The 49-year-old joined Valencia in 2015 for his first foray into management but endured a dismal time in LaLiga. After winning just 10 games out of 28 at the Mestalla, Neville was sacked and has since carved out a career as a successful pundit. Ex-Match of the Day host Lynam was recently asked who he thought should "save" United from current boss Ruben Amorim's reign.
Lynam indicated Neville would be the best man for the Old Trafford hot-seat as he understands and "loves the club.". Neville responded on Saturday, telling Sky Sports: "Des Lynam was the doyen, the God of hosts and presenters in that era. "Someone with an unbelievable voice, great delivery, great humour.
"I always got on with Des but if you could please stop putting me forward as the manager of Manchester United it would be quite helpful. BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS.
