GARY NEVILLE has claimed that he is the reason David Beckham is with Adidas - despite not being given any credit.

Beckham wore the brand's boots during his career after penning a £50,000 deal with them back in 1996.

And it is all thanks to his former Manchester United team-mate Gary Neville, well, so he says.

Speaking at the premiere of Netflix docuseries 'Beckham' , Neville said: "Do you know something? You know David Beckham is with Adidas because of me.
