Ferguson Confirms Neville Offers

Phil Neville could be on his way out of Old Trafford following numerous bids from mystery Premiership clubs interested in the England international's services.

Neville is growing surplus to requirements and is unlikely to get much first-team action next season. The versatile midfielder and defender has been a Red Devil since a schoolboy.

"There have been a few enquiries over the last two or three weeks," confirmed Ferguson regarding the 28-year-old. "So far, we have not accepted any of them."

Competition in midfield at Old Trafford is growing fierce and Neville seems to be frustrated at the lack of action he's receiving. 

The treatment of Alan Smith, who is converting to midfield, is likely to be the final straw for Neville - who has been overlooked by Fergie as the Scotsman looks for potential successors for Roy Keane.

Middlesbrough, Newcastle, West Brom and Wigan are the predicted teams who have approached Neville.
