From The Times:

Gary Neville has turned to former FA bung-buster Graham Bean in a bid to escape his £5,000 fine for taunting Liverpool supporters.

Manchester United captain Neville, 31, copped the FA punishment for his wild celebrations in front of Liverpool fans after Rio Ferdinand's late winner in the Old Trafford Premiership clash on January 22.

The England defender vowed to appeal against the fine, claiming the FA decision showed they wanted players to behave like ‘robots'.


From the MEN:

Fraizer Campbell struck four times as United reserves went on the rampage to boost their hopes of retaining the Premier Reserve League title. But it was a horror show for the Blues' second string at Hyde's Ewen Fields last night, as their title hopes disappeared.

The Reds rocked City with three goals in the opening 22 minutes. Markus Neumayr sent Campbell away to put the home side ahead just three minutes in.

United have two fixtures remaining, away at Aston Villa and Liverpool, and six points from those games will ensure that the title stays at Old Trafford.

UNITED: Steele, Marsh (Gray 74), Rose, Pique, J Evans (Shawcross 59), Gibson, Neumayr, R Jones, Campbell (Barnes 79), Rossi, Mullan. Not used: Zieler, Lea.

CITY: Weaver, Logan, Collins, Ward, M Mills, Laird, Croft, Flood, Haapala, Wright-Phillips, Miller.
