Class of 92's Gary Neville reveals Manchester United legends have five-a-side team


Gary Neville has exclusively told Sporting Life how the Class of 92 still play football together - and they have still got their winning touch years after hanging up their boots.

The Sky Sports pundit lines up with former Manchester United team-mates and current co-owners of Salford City - Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes - for a monthly kickabout on five-a-side pitches.

Neville, who hung up his boots in 2011 before going into the media, was speaking after David Beckham was unveiled as a new investor in the National League side, buying a 10 percent stake from Peter Lim, leaving the Class of 92 collectively with 60 per cent majority ownership of the club - more here.

The 43-year-old warned how the five retired pros were feeling the effects of playing earlier that morning, going on to exclusively reveal their winning streak.

"We started doing it about three or four months ago, playing five-a-side together once a month," he told Sporting Life.

"It’s amazing, we play against Salford’s youth teams and have beat every team they’ve sent. We are unbeaten and proud of that.

"They get stuck in, we get stuck in, it’s good for them and us and it helps being able to see my cheeks!

"It’s really competitive. One of the youth team goalkeepers goes in goal for us, then us five play out, Chris (Casper, Salford's sporting director) plays as well so we rotate with a sub as well. Chris is actually the best player!"
