Phil Neville insists his appointment at Inter Miami was NOT a gift from his pal and former Man United team-mate David Beckham, as he claims the interview process was 'as hard as any I have done'

Phil Neville is adamant that he was not 'given' the Inter Miami job by his old friend and former Manchester United team-mate David Beckham.

Having joined the American outfit in January, Neville says the interview process 'was as difficult as any' others he had experienced and claims it was difficult to 'convince' the owners that he was the 'right person'.

The former Lioness manager believes he has 'got off to a good start' at the club after securing his first victory against Philadelphia Union on April 25.
