New Manchester United chief exec Richard Arnold is eager to improve the club's relationship with certain ex-players in the media.

Arnold has reportedly already reached out to Neville, with Paul Scholes also expected to hold talks with him in the near future.

There are a number of other ex-United players in punditry such as Rio Ferdinand, Roy Keane and Owen Hargreaves.
