Man Utd legend Gary Neville insists he’d ‘run a mile’ if he was offered the Old Trafford job

GARY NEVILLE has insisted he would "run a mile" if he was ever offered the job of Manchester United manager.

The former United full-back's comment came as he conducted a question and answer session on Twitter on Sunday evening.

Asked if he would ever take the top job at Old Trafford, he replied: "That call isn't coming and if it did, I would run a mile."

It comes after the Sky Sports pundit ripped into the current United dressing room - calling Red Devils players "weeds" and "trash".

The 44-year-old believes Old Trafford boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs "three to four transfer windows to clear up the trash in the dressing room".

Saturday's 1-0 triumph over Leicester was just United's fourth win in their last 14 matches stretching back to last season - but Neville said: "He should get the transfer window in January, into the summer and next season.

"Then there has to be a progression, you have to see improvement, but look at Jurgen Klopp. It took four years before he won anything, but it started to get better after 12 months.

"It is a young team, and I as a Manchester United supporter believe he should get this and next season."

"Give him three to four transfer windows to clean up the trash in the dressing room, because there is trash in there.

"You have to weed out the weeds, and that's not his fault.

"He has to create his winning team, but it takes time.

"Liverpool have gone 30 years without winning the Premier League, so it's not that fantastic anywhere. This will take time."
