It comes after Premier League club Chelsea offered NHS workers free accommodation for the next two months at the Millennium Hotel at its Stamford Bridge ground to help with the COVID-19 outbreak.

The cost of the rooms will be covered by club owner Roman Abramovich.

Sky Sports football expert Neville said he and Giggs will do the same, with the scheme in place from Friday onwards in order to help accommodate medical workers during the coronavirus crisis.


"Over the last week we have been in consultation with the health services in the Greater Manchester area, in particular the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust," Neville said in a video posted on social media.


"Our 176 beds will be occupied by National Health Service workers and medical professionals from Friday onwards.

Hope Branson goes on one of his rockets to the moon drifts off course misses the moon and is never seen again. Tight fisted b*stard

I always thought Branson was a decent bloke as well but now, I wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire. Tell him to f..k off back to his island and stay there.

Fair play to Neville and Giggs - As for Branson ...Take note people

Rog, Branson was on the bones of his backside and had a lucky break with the record thing

You'd think he'd remember that; not just when he needs the publicity but when the people who helped put him where he is (the ordinary consumer) could do with a little payback

I'm with you on the money grabbing thing; his businesses have long forgotten their roots

Shame on the man who so vocally claimed to be 'one of us' but shuns the very same when the going got tough and they needed a friend
