LONDON - Manchester United defender Gary Neville has retired from football with immediate effect, the player announced Wednesday.
Veteran full-back Neville, who turns 36 later this month, has not played since Premier League leaders United's victory away to West Bromwich Albion on New Year's Day.
Neville, a one club man, made 602 appearances for United, scoring seven goals, and also won 85 England caps.
"I have been a Manchester United fan all my life and fulfilled every dream I've ever had," Neville said in a United statement.
"Obviously I am disappointed that my playing days are at an end, however it comes to us all, and it's knowing when that time is and for me that time is now.
