Great stuff from the Red Devils

Prior to their Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United fans paid tribute to Gary and Phil Neville’s father at Old Trafford, following his passing away earlier this week.

Neville Neville had been taken “very seriously ill” while holidaying in Australia with family and subsequently passed away at a Sydney hospital from a suspected heart attack. He was 65.

The United faithful belted out a chant marking Neville’s memory and his sons’ contribution to the Premier League club before kick-off. The song references Gary and Phil’s involvement in United’s historic treble-winning season in the 1998/99 campaign.
