'I'm not on the inside' - Man Utd legend Gary Neville insists he has no say in Erik ten Hag's future despite role in Old Trafford redevelopment

Neville was asked about his opinions over Ten Hag's future by Ian Wright as "someone on the inside" but the ex-Man Utd defender insisted he was only in contact with his former club about plans to regenerate Old Trafford.

Ten Hag has come under increasing pressure this week due to United's poor start to the season, which sees them sit 14th in the Premier League after just two wins in their opening seven games.

United held a meeting during the international break to discuss their manager's future, with the outcome seemingly resulting in Ten Hag keeping his job for the time being.

"I'm not on the inside of it, no I'm not," Neville told The Overlap's Stick to Football show. "I went on Monday to meet them about the regeneration side."

When asked whether football issues were discussed during his meeting with United, Neville replied: "Not at all."

United will host Brentford in their first game after the international break next Saturday hoping to finally kick-start their season after their disappointing start to the new campaign.

Ten Hag will know that a poor result will inevitably continue to pile the pressure on him, with United already reportedly discussing Thomas Tuchel as a potential replacement for the Dutchman.
