Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has reportedly requested that two giant advertisement boards are displayed on his new hotel outside Old Trafford.

The retired professional, who works for Sky Sports as a football pundit, has been granted permission to build a 138-bed hotel just outside of the famous stadium.

The former Premier League champions were originally against the 37-year-old's plans to build a hotel and it has now emerged that he wants to place two 11m-high signs at the complex, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Reports have claimed that the club have no objections to the request.
