Gary Neville has named the only club he would have played for if he had to leave Manchester United.

Neville joined United as an apprentice after leaving school and was a key part of the famed Class of 92.

He went on to play 602 appearances for his boyhood club, captaining the side for five seasons and winning eight Premier League titles before retiring in 2011.

The 49-year-old remained a one club man, alongside long-time teammates Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.

He never came close to leaving Old Trafford but in a new episode of The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, Neville was asked which club he would have signed for if he was forced to leave United.

And though he had many intense battles with them over the years, Neville picked rivals Arsenal as he had "massive respect" for them as a club.

"I'm going to say Arsenal," Neville said.

"Arsenal were the club that I generally had massive respect for.

"When I went to Highbury and you used to walk in that old entrance with the marble hall, I used to think it's a club of proper tradition.

"I used to love the blazers that you used to wear and there is a resemblance in alignment for what United were at that time with the blazers and tradition."

Ian Wright mentioned both United and Liverpool due to family allegiances, while Jamie Carragher also gave a response which would dated back to his childhood.

Carragher was an Everton fan as a kid before switching to Liverpool, though he also admired Spurs.

He explained: "I'm going to go for Tottenham and the reason I say Tottenham is because when I was a kid they were the first team I was aware of besides Everton and Liverpool.

"My first season watching football was 1984-85 and Everton and Tottenham were going for the league."
