With all the buzz about Raheem Sterling and Morgan Schneiderlin being shipped around England, one of the Three Lion’s best has been sent out of the country. Former Manchester United midfielder and member of the infamous class of ’92, Phillip Neville, has brought his talents to Spain and Valencia.

Neville joined Valencia after coaching at Manchester United while under David Moyes, who has since moved to La Liga as well. He will be the assistant coach to Nuno Esparto Santo who lead the club to a fourth place finish and Champions League qualifying spot during his first year in charge of the club.
This will be Phil Neville’s first job outside of England during his footballing career, and with that comes a big language barrier that he is not exactly used to.
To help overcome the challenge of learning a new language, Neville is actively tweeting in Spanish to his 1.18 million followers to get some extra practice. However, it doesn’t always go as well as he thinks.
