Fan crashes into Gary Neville’s car then cheekily asks for selfie with Man Utd legend as he inspects damage
A FAN crashed into Gary Neville’s Land Rover – then cheekily asked for a selfie while the Manchester United legend inspected the damage.
The 48-year-old former England and Red Devils defender has a host of other business interests away from the beautiful game.
And one of those ventures for the Sky Sports pundit and Salford FC owner is his hotel in Manchester.
Unfortunately for Neville, his Land Rover Defender appeared to have been hit by a van while he was at the establishment earlier.
The Old Trafford icon was then spotted by an onlooker examining the damage on his motor.
Despite the collision, Neville looked to be on good terms with the male driver of the other vehicle.
And, incredibly, Red Nev even agreed to pose for a selfie with the man.
It comes after Neville was spotted leaving Wembley with a carrier bag full of booze as he jokingly announced his “mini-retirement”.
He was in the stands to watch Premier League champions City beat the Red Devils 2-1 in the FA Cup Final last weekend.
Now it is only Inter Milan in the Champions League Final on Saturday that stands in the way of the Cityzens and an historic Treble.

Neville was part of the famous 1999 United Treble-winning team and the prospect of their arch-rivals matching that feat appears to be proving too much for the ex-England defender.
And he was spotted leaving Wembley on Saturday with a carrier bag full of cans and a bottle of wine.
He also took to Twitter following the game to poke fun at himself after he was recently mocked for referring to holidays as “mini-retirements”.
Neville tweeted: “Ah well a big disappointment. A poor second goal to concede.
“Time for a mini-retirement. See you in August.”
The United icon, who won eight Premier League titles during a 19-year career at Old Trafford, recently had fans left in stitches at a clip of him talking about taking time out.
He sparked mass laughter as he explained how he recharges his batteries every six weeks with a weekend break.
Neville told the Diary of a CEO podcast: “What you can have is a mini-retirement during the year, and that’s what I’ve tried to do.
“I don’t do it very well, so for instance this weekend I’m going to Spain on Friday until Monday morning.
“I call that a mini-retirement. It’s a weekend, it’s a mini-retirement.
“It’s where I can basically say for three days I’m there and I’m basically taking it, I don’t think about work.
“And I will, sometimes my best ideas come when I’m on these types of trips, but then in six weeks I’ll have another mini-retirement for five days or four days.
“Rather than thinking you’re going to stop for six months and sort of have a sabbatical, that’s not probably going to happen with people like you or I because we just basically don’t work that way.
“So to have lots of mini-retirements during the year is what I’ve tried to do in the last few years.”
