Manchester United fan gets tattoo of Gary Neville's face on his leg

A Manchester United supporter tried to attract the attention of club legend Gary Neville on Twitter by posting a picture of his tattoo of the former captain.

Neville, who now works as a Sky Sports pundit, gave his approval when he spotted the photo on social media.

The tattoo is a replica of Neville's famous celebration from his playing days, when he grabbed the United crest on his shirt and cheered in front of Liverpool fans when his side scored a dramatic late winner in one of their meetings.

Alongside the picture, Twitter user @jpowney1984 wrote: "Hey @GNev2 had this done today. Love you mate."

Neville responded by saying: "Love you to!! Haha"
