Man Utd block Gary Neville's hotel plan - Sports Mole
The former United captain intended to build a ten-storey, 139-bedroom hotel and leisure complex for Red Devils' fans.
However after initially supporting the idea, the club have decided to go against the idea, claiming that the development would be too big.
"The club has been developing its vision for the area over the last few months, following on from the very successful pedestrianisation scheme executed in July," said a United spokesman.
"As part of that vision, we considered in detail the changes to the sheer scale of the new project proposed, as distinct to the original plan.
"We had some projections done of what the view of the stadium would be from various angles on the other side of Wharfside Way and have concluded that, on balance, we do not want a building of that size so close to the stadium."
Neville is yet to comment on the decision and it is unclear what the next step will be.
