Former Manchester United ace Phil Neville has slashed the price of his penthouse flat by £750,000 in an attempt to offload it after becoming Inter Miami boss.
The retired Premier League star has had the three-storey apartment in flash Beetham Tower, in Central Manchester, on the market for much of the last decade.
However after snapping up the manager’s role at David Beckham’s Inter Miami in Major League Soccer, the 44-year-old has cut the asking price by more than 20 per cent.
The four-bedroom flat offers panoramic views of the city and was put on the market for £3.5million in July.
The former England Lionesses boss has now slashed the asking price by £750,000 – making it £2.75 million.
The 4,448 square ft penthouse is called the Orchid Suite, and takes up the 44th, 45th and 46th floors of Beetham Tower – one of the tallest and thinnest skyscrapers in the UK.
