Neville eyes manager job

Man Utd legend Gary Neville has revealed that he has one eye firmly fixed on the future; as he hinted that a move into management could be the next step in his footballing career. The player has suffered terribly in the last couple of seasons with injuries.

He said: "I have done my coaching badges in the summer along with Ryan Giggs and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

"But although the two weeks were good fun and hard work, it doesn't replace actually playing.

"What it did do was make me think about the fact I hadn't played for more than 12 months and that I've got to make the most of the next season and play for as long as I possibly can.

"I'm into the last year of my contract, so I've got to do my best and try to maintain my existence at United because this is the only club I want to play football for.

"It's difficult as regards the future because at the age of 33 or 34 you have to start thinking about what you are going to do once you stop.

"At that age you feel like you are about to fall off a cliff because there's nothing you can do to replicate the last 15 years.

"You have to try to find something. Hopefully I can keep that at bay for two years."
