Manchester United captain Gary Neville has not decided to retire at age 34 this year, although many developing rumors about it.
Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson said Neville decided to hang the shoes at the end of this season is a lie news.
“I do not know where these rumors come from,” said Fergie. “Gary has not made any decisions and we have not made any decision.”
Neville has made 13 appearances for the Red Devils this season, but more exposed to injury.
“I always tell my players when you will make decisions about your future, make sure you do it in summer. You do not make decisions like we talked about in the middle of the season. That’s nonsense,” he explained.

Sir Alex Ferguson is on another collision course with the Football Association after being infuriated by the discovery that an Arsenal season ticket-holder was chairman of the disciplinary commission that suspended Patrice Evra for four matches last month.
The Manchester United manager has struggled to contain his anger at the FA’s handling of the Evra affair, which related to a fracas involving a Chelsea groundsman during a post-match warm-down at Stamford Bridge last April, but his outrage grew when he discovered that Nicholas Stewart, QC, who chaired the four-man commission, has a season ticket at the Emirates Stadium.
