Man Utd coach Neville: Last four months best of career

Manchester United coach Phil Neville admits he is inspired by his return to the club.

Neville is part of United manager David Moyes' backroom team.

Neville told the Telegraph: "The last four months have been the best four months of my professional career. I never thought I could recreate the buzz, but it's as if I've been waiting for this for the past five years. I've put in a lot of work; I've studied; I've done everything they say you have to do. I've read a lot of American coaches' books. I keep hearing the phrase hard work. I love working one on one with a player and seeing him go off the field happy. That gives me a massive buzz.

"I can relate to how the squad players are thinking, because I was one of those squad players. I played one, missed two. I missed the big games sometimes. I think I'm in a position to pick those players up and give them advice. Maybe that's one of the reasons David Moyes brought me in."
