Everton skipper Phil Neville says his decision to leave Manchester United has been justified after Sunday's FA Cup semifinal win.

"I signed for Everton because the manager promised me we would be challenging for honours," he said.

"I expect to win trophies - I don't want to see out my career with the cabinet closed.

"That is what the manager has instilled in the club.

"It has taken him a while but now it's constant success."
