The 35-year-old defender will remain at Carrington for treatment on a calf problem when the squad leave on Monday for Chicago, in the hope he will be fit for the start of the season. Neville recovered strongly last season after injuries had curtailed his involvement in previous seasons and was handed a one-year extension to his contract. United say he suffered a minor setback in training with a small tear to his calf muscle. Manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes it will be more beneficial for Neville to remain at home than make the trip.
