Manchester United star Gary Neville to visit Chandigarh

The finale of the fourth edition of its flagship grassroots football programme, United We Play, will see the presence of former Manchester United superstar Gary Neville.

Neville will be seen in action at the grand finale of the fourth edition of United We Play in Chandigarh on October 18. A rare one-club man, Gary Neville played for Manchester United for his entire career, spending almost 20 years with the club with a whopping 602 appearances for his boyhood club under his belt. He has also served English football with distinction with 85 appearances over a 12-year career for his country. The programme is an on-ground grassroots football initiative, supported by Manchester United to encourage young football talent from across geographies.

On Gary Neville’s visit to India, officials of India and SAARC, Apollo Tyres, said, “His presence will surely elevate the experience for budding footballers who will be a part of the United We Play finals in Chandigarh.” The launch of the fourth edition of United We Play took place in Kolkata in December last year.
