Everton skipper Phil Neville admits he wants to be a manager.

Although at 35 he has no plans yet to hang up his boots, he has made no secret of his ambition to remain within the game when he finally does retire.

He told the Telegraph: "The bottom line is, I want to be a coach. I want to be a manager. That's my love. I spent three days with the England Under-21s over the summer and it was the best three days I've had in football. It inspired me.

"I watched a match and the manager said to me: 'Give me two things at half-time we need to improve on'. Well, the whole first half I must have written down 100 things. I was that nervous I was shaking. It was a totally new experience. I did come up with the two, eventually. It made my mind up: I want to become a manager, definitely."
