Man Utd legend Neville lands Juventus for testimonial

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has landed a testimonial game against Juventus.

Neville's 18-year Manchester United career will be honoured when the Red Devils tackle Italian giants Juventus in a testimonial at Old Trafford on May 24.

"I am delighted to be given this game by the club," he said. "It is going to be a very emotional night for me, especially as I pull on that red shirt once more in what will be my last game for the club. I intend to savour every moment and I hope the fans can share in my special night."

Neville has pledged to use the proceeds to support sustainable projects within the community, an issue close to his heart, and also has plans for supporter initiatives home and abroad.

"Gary has been a loyal servant of Manchester United and this is a fitting tribute to honour Gary and his career," said Sir Alex Ferguson.

"It also gives the fans the opportunity to show their admiration and appreciation for a player who is very much one of them.

"We have had many great games against Juventus in the past and I am sure this will be another memorable night."
