NEV’S NICE TOUCH
Gary Neville has “overwhelmed” Brighouse Town with a “significant” donation – as he holds the non-League club close to his heart for being the last team he watched with his late father Neville.
The Manchester United legend and Salford City co-oner pledged the unspecified amount on the part-timers’ JustGiving page after the coronavirus pandemic ended the season early for football below the sixth tier.
Neville said: “Brighouse Town holds a special place in my heart even though the result did not go in our favour with Salford City suffering a 3-1 defeat on the day.”

MARC MY WORDS
Marcus Rashford has revealed he prefers to play on the left-side of attack rather than centre-forward.
The Manchester United and England star said: “When you are on the left, you can create a lot more things on your own, giving that little bit more to the team.
“Whereas when you are playing up front, sometimes you are isolated and need someone in midfield who can find passes for 90 minutes of a game, so you can disappear in games sometimes as a number nine.
“When I transitioned to a number nine when I was younger, that’s the bit that I struggled with as I was always someone who wanted to express myself on the ball.
“When I started playing number nine, I realised that you don’t see the ball as often as you do in other positions.”

BRU-WOAH
Harry Maguire reckons Paul Pogba’s Manchester United career could be saved by Bruno Fernandes.
Maguire told Sky Sports News: “He (Fernandes) has been brilliant since he’s come in, off the field around the training ground, he’s a leader and wants to win.
“Everything he does he wants to win, you can tell he’s been brought up with that attitude.
“He’s just given us that little bit more life and creativity in the middle, something United fans have said we’ve missed over the years.
“It’s a start, there are lots of aspects of his game I’m sure he’ll want to improve, and I’m sure he will improve. I’m sure he will get better for this club.
“We’ve got Paul [Pogba] to come back as well, who I’m sure will probably make himself lift his game even more.
“We have a lot of competition in that centre midfield now, they know they have to be on their game to keep their spot, so I’m sure we’ll see the benefit.”

KANE UNABLE
The coronavirus reality is reportedly biting at Manchester United with the club’s transfer plans taken back to the drawing board.
According to The Guardian, weeks without football and a likely return to the pitch behind closed doors is taking its toll on their summer prospects.
It is claimed a regular season would see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer be given the cash to secure an elite centre-forward, such as £150million-rated Kane.
But the abnormal circumstances surrounding the coming transfer market could set that deal off course.

RE-UNITED
Darren Fletcher is set to return to Manchester United in an ambassadorial role as he joining old team-mates Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick.
The former Old Trafford midfielder was pictured in a United training top recently as he thanked the National Health Service for their work amid the coronavirus pandemic.
But according to Manchester Evening News, Fletcher will not be returning to the club in a coaching role, instead acting as an ambassador.
It is understood the 36-year-old attended a series of meeting at Old Trafford, discussing plans for an overall restructure.
United bosses are said to have searched for employees who can “buy into the culture” of the club, with Fletcher, who spent 12 years at Old Trafford, deemed a perfect recruit.
