Everton captain Phil Neville praises former Manchester United teammate David Beckham following the midfielder's decision to retire in the summer.

Everton captain Phil Neville has hailed former Manchester United teammate David Beckham following the midfielder's decision to retire at the end of the season.

Beckham, 38, announced on Thursday that he would be hanging up his boots this summer after his six-month spell with French champions Paris Saint-Germain comes to an end.

"We should be celebrating such a fantastic footballer, such a fantastic person and one who has been an unbelievable ambassador for this country, not just on the football field," Neville told Sky Sports News.

"He has not just gone to these clubs and been a bit-part player. He has gone to these clubs and made an impact. He is a wonderful football player and he will be sadly missed."

Neville recently revealed that he is considering retiring at the end of the season.
