Goal King Neville – Scores Against Everton

Gary Neville’s last goal for Manchester United came in 2004, when he scored in our 2-1 win against Lyon.

Neville Fit For Dippers?

United have been lacking the leadership and passion on the field from Gary Neville since last March, and there are some games where this is desperately obvious.
