Phil Neville has fascinatingly opened up on his emotional departure from Manchester United, revealing that his brother Gary instigated his exit by setting up a chat with Sir Alex Ferguson.
Neville joined English rivals Everton in the summer of 2005 having become frustrated over a lack of playing time at his beloved club United.
And with the writing on the wall surrounding his future at Old Trafford, it was his older 'protective' brother Gary that set the wheels in motion after he struggled to come to terms with the likes of Kleberson, Eric Djemba-Djemba and Quinton Fortune playing in front of him.
