Gary Neville 'plans for rooftop pitch on hotel next to Old Trafford'

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has reportedly angered the Red Devils by proposing to build a rooftop pitch on his new hotel next to Old Trafford.

The 37-year-old has been given permission to create a 10-storey hotel next to the former Premier League champions' ground but the England coach is believed to have requested an artificial pitch to be built.

It is understood that plans regarding the amendments will be discussed in a meeting with the Trafford planning committee this week, according to the Daily Mail.

Reports have claimed that Neville is hoping to install a bar and a retractable canopy on the roof.
