Gary Neville is willing to wait years for Manchester United's rebirth - as long as the club's priorities are true.

The former defender is enthused by United's move back towards landing young, British talent and would accept barren seasons if they are blooded properly.

Swansea City's Daniel James and Sean Longstaff at Newcastle United are two they want to sign this summer and Neville claimed he is no hurry to demand trophies under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

'I can wait two, three, four, five years for the club to be successful - it isn't a problem for me,' Neville said.

'As long as the principles are right: play good football, bring the right players through, try and win as best you can, don't give in, good attitude.

'I lived through 20 years as a fan growing up when the club wasn't successful. I'm not in a rush, I just want to see the right things happen and with Ole here as a coach there's an opportunity for that to happen.
