Neville: 'I don't want to manage Man Utd'

Valencia coach Gary Neville has rejected talk that he will one day manage Manchester United.

The former United right-back was appointed as Los Che coach earlier this month, and many have tipped him to succeed Louis van Gaal when the Dutchman ends his time with the Red Devils.

However, Neville has claimed that taking the reins at Old Trafford is not one of his career priorities.

He told Sky Sports News: "No, I don't see myself managing Manchester United at all. I know what I want to do in my life, and that's not something that's in my mind.

"From my point of view, this is important for me and a valuable experience. I'm aware I need to succeed. Succeeding for me [at Valencia] would be knowing these players have improved dramatically.

"Results come and go, I know we're in a results-driven business, but I have never looked at football like that since I've finished playing. I did when I was a player."

Neville made 602 appearances for United.
