Neville as Manchester United ambassador! He has a close relationship with Rajue and is also responsible for the $2 billion redevelopment of Old Trafford

According to British media, after Ferguson is no longer the ambassador of Manchester United, Gary · Neville may take his place and serve as the new ambassador of the Red Devils in a part-time mode. Neville, 49, recently represented the club at an event in India as an ambassador.

Dubbed "United We Play", the programme is a grassroots football initiative supported by Manchester United that aims to provide a platform for young football talent from different regions to showcase their skills, encourage them to continue playing and introduce them to the world's leading training methods. It is reported that Neville will be appointed by Manchester United to travel to India to support the plan and inspire the country's young people to play football.

After 26 and a half years in charge, Ferguson stepped down as head coach in 2013 to become United's global ambassador and director, earning £2.16 million a year. But recently the contract was terminated by mutual agreement, and Sir Jim · Ratcliffe intends to cut costs.

According to the United Kingdom newspaper The Sun, Neville's role as Manchester United's ambassador helps save money, and he only acts as an ambassador for the Red Devils as a "special contract", possibly paying by the time rather than receiving a fixed salary. Neville has no problem as an ambassador for Manchester United, a 'team of a lifetime' player who made 602 appearances for the Reds in 19 years.

As a player, Gary · Neville kissing the Red Devils emblem to their arch-rival fans after Manchester United's win over Liverpool was a Premier League classic. Neville has a partner from his 'Class of 92' friend David Beckham on the right flank, and is also something that has impressed veteran Red Devils fans.

After retiring as a player, Neville shared League Two side Salford City with the Class of 92, in addition to working as a commentator. Neville has been close to new owner Rajah and has been appointed as a member of United's new home rebuilding task force to study the proposal for a new 100,000-man Old Trafford. According to the Manchester Evening News, construction will begin as early as summer 2025. The New Trafford project could cost up to £2 billion and is estimated to take up to three years to complete, meaning the Red Devils won't be able to play on the new stadium until 2028 at the earliest.

Neville was also involved in Manchester United's signing ceremony for the under-nine squad to inspire the young players. "I don't laugh very often, but I'm really happy to see you guys sitting in the front row." 'Because it does remind me of being a kid when I first came to Old Trafford when I was five years old and then signed for Manchester United. Neville said, "I feel like all the dreams have come true, and I'm sure your dreams have come true this morning, so you're all doing well."

But Neville's appointment will be a bit embarrassing for Joel · Glazer of the big boss Glazer family, who avoided meeting with the Manchester United legend during his visit to Old Trafford United States last week, who repeatedly blasted the Glazer siblings as a cancer when he was a commentator. At that time, Joel · Glazer and Rajue arrived at the Theater of Dreams together, but they soon went to different meetings separately. Rajue met with members of the stadium rebuilding task force, including Neville and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy · Burnham.

Last year, Neville publicly denied that he was a Manchester United staff member and denied any involvement in any discussions outside of the Old Trafford redevelopment task force when Ian · Wright referred to him as a United "insider". "I'm not an insider, no! I went to see them on Monday and it was just to discuss reconstruction." When asked if he had mentioned football, Neville replied: "Not at all."

But now Neville may have some say in the club's future, especially when it comes to key decisions at New Trafford. "We have to keep the statue, the Munich clock or the players' tunnel. I'm not too emotional about stadium issues, as long as Manchester United gets a world-class refurbishment or a world-class new stadium, then the fans are the winners. And at least after years of getting nothing done, there's a plan of action to do something." Neville said.
