Gary Neville and Paul Scholes have recently made a trip to the Wythenshawe Community Initiative to meet with the families and children who benefit from the charity's work.

The Manchester United legends have often made the effort to see fans and make their supporters happy.

Wythenshawe, a charity based in south Manchester, seeks to help the local community by offering a wide range of activities and services.

"You can't really put it into words," Neville told Mancunian Matters. "We were just listening to personal stories and how it operates; it's humbling really.

"You hear the story of a 19-year-old girl who came here as a single parent in trouble and now she's a volunteer giving back.

"When I hear the word community or support I will think about this place moving forward and think 'actually no, that's community, that's support, that's sacrificing yourself for other people.' It's brilliant what they do, it's absolutely brilliant."
