Man Utd News: Phil Neville’s son wanted by Jose Mourinho amid David Beckham comparisons
Manchester United are a club renown for giving youth a chance, particularly during Sir Alex Ferguson’s 27-year stint in charge. The Red Devils’ famous class of 1992 helped them win a plethora of trophies, with the likes of Phil and Gary Neville, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes widely regarded as among their biggest success stories. And it seems that current manager Jose Mourinho is aiming to continue that tradition.

Phil worked at the La Liga giants while his brother Gary was manager. And, though he left, his son has stayed ever since signing for them back in 2015. And Super Deporte say, so good is his right foot, he is just like a younger version of Beckham. United, however, are not the only team interested in snapping him up.
Mauricio Pochettino would also love to bring the 14-year-old to England. Tottenham have also emerged as the club where youth can flourish ever since Pochettino succeeded Tim Sherwood as manager back in 2014. Harry Kane and Dele Alli have both blossomed into two of the Premier League’s most consistent performers, while Harry Winks, Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose have also impressed. Speaking last month, after United beat Southampton 1-0, Phil tipped Mourinho’s side for success and pinpointed Nemanja Matic and Marouane Fellaini as their star performers.
