Gary Neville appeared on BBC Breakfast on Tuesday (September 27) and reiterated that his career was not heading towards politics.

The Manchester United legend, 47, previously slammed the Tory government as 'immoral' and was seen chatting to Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer at the party's annual conference in Liverpool on Monday.

Neville joined hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent on the red sofa in MediaCity, Salford. He was discussing the regulation in the Premier League and the issues that should be addressed - including sustainability, racism and homophobia and properly investing in women's games.

He added: "For me to want government intervention into football, when you know what I think of this government, I think is pretty much a last resort."
