Sir Alex dismisses Neville retirement rumors

Posted January 9th, 2010 by red devil in Gossip

neville Rumors that Gary Neville is planning to retire at the end of the season were immediately quashed by Sir Alex Ferguson.

Neville will be celebrating his 35th birthday soon. Though he’s getting long in the tooth, he’s still not considered within retirement age. But time has not been kind to him. He has been suffering from numerous injuries over the last three seasons. Add to that his sub par performance during the absolutely devastating defeat against Leeds United, which has led to the third round exit of the Red Devils in the FA Cup and you’ll realize why the retirement rumors are so strong.

Everything will be determined this summer though. Both Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes have already extended their stay at Old Trafford for an additional year. We’ll find out what Neville’s decision is in a few months.

Personally, I think Neville still has a lot of years to offer Manchester United. Everything really depends on his injury situation. Hopefully, his injury problems will end this season and this will prompt him to renew his contract.

To be honest….we love you Garry…you have work enough and deserve a rest….and you have currently out lived your soccer life….you cant cope with the pressure. Lets give chance to the young ones…thats the only time we will make….football is a business sir alex dont forget that….die a little bit from your personal relationships…the likes of Berbatov..Nevile…Giggs….and use players like Nani, Ralp brothers…macceda….Valencia..park..diouf…To be honest am fade up with the trio…Barbetov, Nevile…Giggs.
