Gary Neville’s comments reveal what his relationship with Jamie Carragher is really like
Gary Neville has revealed how similar he and Jamie Carragher both are in their respective approaches to working.
During his notable career at Manchester United, Neville made 598 appearances over a span of 19 years, celebrating eight Premier League triumphs, three FA Cups, and two Champions League victories among other honours.

Despite differing on various topics,
