Gary Neville has landed a new job less than 24 hours before the Premier League resumes.
The action gets back under way on Friday night, with Neville's club former Manchester United hosting Fulham at Old Trafford on Sky Sports.
Neville will be a lead co-commentator and pundit for Sky once again this season but the Daily Mail say the former United skipper will also be working for another broadcaster.

But during his spell at Sky, Neville has always lived by a golden rule he implemented himself - refusing to call for a manager to be sacked.
Speaking on Stick to Football, he said: "It was a rule when I came into Sky, for myself, about 13 years ago – I said I would never ever [call for a manager to be sacked]. I remember the manager at Blackburn – Steve Kean – I've never seen a manager have as tough a time, for a longer period – than Steve.
"It was getting painful in the end where you're thinking, 'Actually, he probably wants to be sacked', but you never say, 'Sack him, put him out of his misery'.
"Some do and feel comfortable with it, but I've never said it and I'm quite proud of that."
