Throughout his entire career, Gary Neville remained loyal to Manchester United. He spent over 20 years at the club, making over 600 appearances and winning eight Premier League titles under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson. Neville's dedication to the Red Devils made him a legend in the eyes of fans and a highly respected figure in the football world.
In a recent interview on The Overlap with Sky Mobile, Neville opened up about his time at Manchester United and the possibility of leaving the club. Despite admiring players who have moved on to different teams and leagues, Neville made it clear that he never wanted to leave Manchester United. Being a one-club man is something he takes great pride in and he is grateful for the opportunity to have played for such a prestigious club.
In fact, Neville was so committed to Manchester United that he even considered retiring if the club did not offer him a new contract at the age of 30. He had seen how leaving the club at a later stage in his career had not worked out well for other players. Fortunately, Neville was able to continue his career at his beloved club and add even more trophies to his impressive collection.
When asked which club he could have seen himself joining if he had to leave Manchester United, Neville surprised many by choosing Arsenal. He explained that he had always held a great amount of respect for the club, particularly for their traditions and history. Neville recalled walking into the old entrance of Highbury, admiring the marble hall and the blazers worn by Arsenal players. There was a sense of alignment between Arsenal and Manchester United in terms of their traditions and values.
Echoing Neville's sentiment, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher also revealed the one club he could have joined if he had not spent his entire career at Anfield. He chose Tottenham, citing his childhood memories of watching them compete for the league in the 1980s. Carragher also shared a funny anecdote about how he would rush to a nearby betting shop after Everton games to find out how Tottenham had fared in their match.
Both Neville and Carragher are proud one-club men, a rare feat in modern football. Their loyalty and dedication to their respective clubs have earned them the admiration and respect of fans and fellow players alike. It is clear that Manchester United and Liverpool will always hold a special place in their hearts, but it is interesting to imagine what could have been if they had joined different clubs.
