The ex-defender/midfielder has been doing co-commentary work since leaving his assistant managerial role at Manchester United when David Moyes was dismissed last year but he has now grabbed an opportunity to broaden his horizons in Spain with talks set to be concluded soon.
Valencia are owned by Singapore businessman, Peter Lam, who also part-owns Salford City, the Manchester outfit which Neville established with his Class of '92 peers.

Obviously not. Good luck to him.
I canÂ’t forget the Wigan FA Cup debacle and THAT pass across the back four ,straight to McManaman. If memory serves me correct, I think Moyes threw him straight back in after injury, with dire consequences.
I believe he was one of the highest paid employees at the time, certainly towards the end of his spell at Everton, and Moyes made sure he was always the first player to be offered a new or extension to his contract, along with fellow Â’disciplesÂ’, Osman and Hibbert, who are still at the club. CanÂ’t help thinking those collective salaries/packages could have been used elsewhere to attract younger, hungrier players.
ThereÂ’s no doubt about it, from a playerÂ’s perspective, if Moyes wanted you to stick around, and be part of his Â’yes gangÂ’, he would make sure you were well looked after. Probably to the detriment of other squad or developing players.
Anyway, good luck to Neville who seemed a decent bloke when he was with us, and always did his best despite his limitations. It is not his fault he was teacherÂ’s pet.

Imagine if we gave him a testimonial?
