Gary Neville will continue to scale back his appearances on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football as his role with the broadcaster evolves, it has been reported.
Neville has been part of Sky Sports' coverage of Premier League football since he retired as a player in 2011.
The Manchester United legend has become a senior broadcaster in the company since then, and runs the popular YouTube channel 'The Overlap' and its podcast 'Stick to Football'.

Outside of television, Neville is also part of a taskforce involved in examining future plans for Manchester United's stadium, and still holds a stake in League Two club Salford City.
At the beginning of this season, it was announced that the 49-year-old would be making sporadic appearances in the United States for their NBC station.
The move is part of a collaboration between Sky and NBC, which will see Neville appear largely via live Sky broadcasts - as he did prior to the 0-0 draw between Aston Villa and Manchester United earlier this month.
And it has now been reported that Neville's role is evolving with Sky Sports - with the United legend continuing to step back from his role on Monday Night Football.
Neville's involvement with the programme had been cut down in recent seasons anyway, with Jamie Carragher usually joined by a special guest pundit.

The former right-back has still made occasional appearances, including in August this season, but he is said to continue to want to cut back on his MNF duties to focus on his role in the United States and The Overlap channel.
He told Rebecca Lowe on The Overlap US podcast: "So tomorrow, I'm expected to do set pieces, whereas with Sky, on Monday Night Football, there are some set pieces which I prepare for.
"But now I don't do Monday Night Football anymore, I don't do set pieces anymore."
Neville will still be a key fixture of Friday Night Football, Saturday Night Football and Super Sunday broadcasts, providing co-commentary, expert analysis and his post-match podcast.

In addition, Neville will still appear on Monday Night Football in the future on sporadic occasions.
A number of high-profile footballing figures have appeared as guest pundits on Sky across 2024, including Graham Potter, Aaron Ramsey, Dele Alli and Ashley Young.
In the past, the likes of Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Frank, Freddie Ljungberg and Petr Cech have all made appearances.
