NEVILLE NEVILLE

Phil Neville's reluctance to accept a bit-part role at Old Traf ford also makes it unlikely that he will remain at the club for another season. Neville is said to have reacted to the news that he would not even be a substitute at White Hart Lane with an uncharacteristic fit of pique and there were unconfirmed reports that, rather than watch the start of the game, he sat alone on the team coach when the match got under way. He joined his team-mates in celebrating United's 2-0 victory immediately after the game but it has become apparent that he might not have a part to play in Ferguson's plans.
