Manchester United captain Gary Neville says he and fellow veterans Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs will keep playing until manager Sir Alex Ferguson tells them to retire.

Neville told manutd.com: "We keep playing because United keep asking us to!

"There’s still an opportunity for us here and we want to keep winning season upon season. If the club told us to leave, we’d leave. Playing for this club is the best thing in the world and we’ve been doing it for a long time now.

"Why would we want it to stop? We still feel as though there are contributions to be made on and off the pitch – and so does the manager, which is the most important thing."
