Gary Neville lands new Premier League role as Manchester United great issues 'delighted' statement

The Manchester United great and Sky Sports pundit will also be working with American broadcasting giant NBC Sports during the campaign. 

Announcing the news, NBC said: “Gary Neville, the Manchester United legend and Sky Sports pundit, will join NBC Sports’ Premier League coverage as a special contributor throughout the 2024-25 season, it was announced today in collaboration with Sky Sports.”

Posting on his LinkedIn while working Manchester City’s visit to Chelsea on Sunday, Neville said: “Delighted to join the NBC Sports team for the 24/25 Premier League season.” 

Former United goalkeeper Tim Howard is among Neville’s new colleagues at NBC and it is the latest broadcasting move for the former right back who has also appeared on Dragons’ Den and ITV’s coverage of the Euros in 2024. 

It is not thought the move impacts Neville’s existing Sky commitments having been one of the broadcaster’s top pundits and co-commentators since joining during the 2011-12 season. His partnership with Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane and others has expanded into his The Overlap YouTube channel and Stick to Football podcast.

On the latest edition, Neville backed his former club for a top-four finish this season: “Injuries are the massive thing for Manchester United. The left back is a problem because if (Luke) Shaw is out the drop off is massive. I do think they’ll get into the top four if they stay clear of injuries.”
