Neville happy at United

England international Gary Neville insists he is happy at Manchester United and does not want to leave the club this summer.

Neville has struggled with injuries in recent seasons and has lost his place in the United team.

He told the People: “I played a good number of games last season and I hope that continues next season because playing for this club is as special to me now as it was when I first pulled on the shirt as a schoolboy.

“Full-backs have an important role, particularly at United, in terms of the way we attack and the way in which there’s a transition from defence through our full-backs to attack.

“We have always set up play and been part of the extra-man situation and we always play with width.

“The way you see guys like Patrice Evra and Rafael Da Silva attacking, they are more like wingers who can defend – they aren’t just full-backs any more.

“The way in which the modern full-back like Rafael, his brother Fabio and Patrice play is fantastic to watch. Before I got injured a couple of years ago you’d say I was running forward nearly all the time during the game.

“Don’t get me wrong – I don’t do that in the same eye-catching way as they do, but you understand the changes and development in the game and the way I’ve had to adapt.”
