'I went round!': Gary Neville opens up on his weight gain post-retirement... as the Manchester United legend reveals he turned to the gym because he 'felt s***' in the first couple of years after he stopped playing

Gary Neville has revealed that he 'felt s***' after rapidly gaining weight in his first couple of years after retiring from football.

The former Manchester United full back called time on his glittering career in 2011, and took up a role as a pundit for Sky Sports shortly afterwards.

Having opted to remain in the public spotlight, Neville admitted he piled on the pounds and fans didn't hesitate to remind him about it. Speaking on the latest episode of The Overlap, Neville told ex-teammate Paul Scholes that he chose to get back in the gym to start feeling good about himself again.
