    He hobbled off the pitch and is now expected to be out until the new year.

    In 2020, Sir Alex lost a planning battle after he objected strongly to next door’s application to demolish a two-storey house and build a three-storey mansion.
    Fergie’s lawyers sent a five-page opposition letter to planners.
    He claimed his privacy would be affected by removal of trees which would also impact the character of the area.
    He said the removal of trees was “likely to have a significant impact on the character of the area and the existing privacy standards afforded”.
    But planners decided to allow the scheme to ahead.

    Tyson Fury’s dream £4million mansion plans knocked out again after bats drama

    WORLD boxing champ Tyson Fury’s £4million mansion plans have been floored again — this time by birds.The heavyweight king has been told that featherweight flappers flocking to ponds or fruit trees on his land may be a hazard to nearby jets.

    He has already given up on hopes of demolishing a house on the site after bats were found roosting in a loft.
    Instead, he hoped to extend the existing eight-bedroom home and install a basement music room, games area, breakfast and garden rooms and a cinema.
    But the safeguarding authority at nearby Manchester airport has told him birds could be attracted to the Cheshire site if planned cherry trees are planted or if there is any open water — including swimming pools.
    Only sterile or rarely-fruiting trees must be used, it said.

    In its planning consultation response, the authority gives its reasons as “flight safety” and “bird strike avoidance”.
    Birds being sucked into jets or hitting aircraft windscreens can cause major accidents.
    The experts said: “Robust measures are to be taken to prevent species of birds hazardous to aircraft being attracted to the site.”
    The WBC champ also cannot use exterior uplighting in case it distracts pilots.

    He was sacked by ex-United team-mate David Beckham in June following a terrible start to the MLS campaign.
    Just a week after leaving the DRV PNK Stadium, Neville briefly accepted a job working with the Canadian national team alongside manager John Herdman.

    Following his arrival, Neville admitted that the city reminds him of his hometown.

    He said: “I have great memories visiting Portland, which reminds me of Manchester, my hometown, and I can’t wait for my family to get to know this beautiful city.”
    And while he is yet to find a permanent place to live in the area, he will likely go for something similar to his old home in the north of England.
    Cheshire mansion
    Before moving to the US, Neville sold his £5.25million Cheshire mansion.
    The six-bedroom property came with a swimming pool, gym, cinema, games room, mini indoor football pitch, underground car park and a steel-lined panic room.

    Inside Benjamin Mendy’s £5m mansion as he is forced to slash price as it languishes on the market

    BENJAMIN Mendy has slashed a whopping £750,000 off the asking price of his £5million mansion as he battles bankruptcy following his rape trial. The former Manchester City footballer, 29, must sell the sprawling Cheshire property to avoid financial ruin.

    As he chases up to £10m of back pay from his old club and while rebuilding his career at French Ligue 1 club Lorient, Mendy has now reduced the asking price to £4.25million.
    It comes as HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is seeking a bankruptcy order against the footballer over a nearly £800,000 tax debt. 
    The house is described by estate agents as “one of the finest contemporary homes in Cheshire”. 
    The 11,000sq-ft residence is set in over 1.75 acres of grounds and boasts six bedroom suites, an open plan living area, games room, home cinema, swimming pool, steam room, gym and spa.

    It was bought by Mendy from cricketing legend Andrew Flintoff in 2018 for £4.8million. 
    Flintoff, who never lived at the house, bought it for £1.8million in 2008 and spent two years rebuilding the property – before renting it out. 
    His tenants included former footballer Peter Crouch and wife Abbey Clancy. 
    The former Man City star was already a millionaire when he joined from Monaco in 2017 on a six-year contract.

    His deal guaranteed him a basic £100,000-a-week salary and up to £170,000 with bonuses.
    But instead of pocketing £31.2million, he ended up fighting bankruptcy after his 2020 arrest for rape.
    He was cleared of raping a woman following a retrial in July.
    Jurors unanimously cleared him of both charges after three hours of deliberation.
    But despite going free, he was forced to close his image rights company after being chased for unpaid tax.
    The footballer took a huge financial hit after being charged in 2021, with City stopping his salary the following month.

    The 23-year-old claims he was on the market for a house in Florida when the Argentinian legend swooped in and bought the mansion.
    Messi was on the lookout for a house in the area after signing for Inter Miami in the summer.
    Ross claimed he would now build his own home to rival the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner’s stunning pad.
    He said on a stream: “I got outbid with the house I wanted.

    “It’s nothing about me being broke. I just couldn’t get to there in time. I saw the house, but they were already in talks and all that.
    “The professional athlete is Messi. Messi’s parents, I think it was.

    “I believe it was his grandparents, or I don’t know who the f**k it was.

    Back in August, the ex-Barcelona star and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo were snapped house hunting in Miami.
    They eventually splashed £8.6million on an incredible waterfront property in Fort Lauderdale that has a pool, spa and boat docks.
    Messi already owns four apartments along Miami beach worth a combined £15m.
    It is unclear what house Ross was referring to.

    With those accolades has also come a vast sum of wealth.
    He is estimated to have a net worth of around £50million.
    However, following his fight against Dillian Whyte in April 2023, some estimates put that figure as high as £130m.
    Fury has put this wealth to good use, investing in a number of luxury assets.

    Cars are one of the main items Fury’s money has gone towards, with his garage featuring a pair of Rolls Royce, a Porsche Taycan and a Ferrari to name but a few.
    But chief among his assets are his houses.
    Fury is said to own a number of properties, including the £1.7m pad featured in his Netflix documentary At Home With The Furys and a Las Vegas home where he is said to have let his coach stay cost free.
    Below we will take a look at some of the stunning properties.

    The home featured five bedrooms
    For years Fury and his family lived in a beautiful five-bed home in Morecambe.
    Tyson has remained adamant he would never uproot his home from Morecambe telling ITV doc Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King in 2020: “Why would I abandon my own country for a bit of money and some fame?
    “I love it… It’s true beauty. If the weather was better, every house here would be a million quid.”
    And considering the Fury’s former house, it’s clear to see why he would not want to leave.
    In 2021, the five-bed, four-bathroom Lancashire home of Fury that overlooked Morecambe Bay was estimated to be worth £550,000.
    Fury’s wife Paris often gave fans a sneak peek into their home
    The home was suitably decked out inside as well, as shown thanks to the snaps Fury’s wife Paris often shared to her social media pages.
    Oil paintings, large photos of Fury in action and a trophy cabinet were all present in the property.
    There were even gold curtains and a huge gold-framed Versace mirror.
    A walk in wardrobe was also a frequent sight on Paris’ stories, featuring designer handbags and glamorous outfits to rival the Kardashian’s of the world.

    True to his word, Fury snubbed a move elsewhere in order to remain by his beloved Morecambe.
    In December 2020, Fury brought a new seaside mansion which, according to Land Registry documents obtained by The Mirror, set Tyson Fury Ltd. back a cool £1,695,000, and is mortage-free.
    With seven children in tow – after welcoming their seventh in September 2023 – the new property gave the Furys a new lease of Morecambe life.
    Paris was given free reign on the interior design of the stunning property, which features gold chandeliers, marble-topped counters and a grand piano.
    The home featured heavily in the Netflix show At Home With The Furys, which offered fans a glimpse inside the chaotic and full-on life of Britian’s top heavyweight boxer.
    There is a castellated front wall and wrought-iron black and gold fence and CCTV warning signs for security as well as lion motifs and four eagle sculptures to keep up appearances.
    A water fountain can also be seen at the front of the property, while there is also a mini-playground with the “Gypsy King” logo painted on the floor outside.

    Fortunately, Paris has upgraded her walk-in wardrobe for her amazing shoe collection – estimated to be worth a cool £50,000.
    Speaking to loose women in 2020, Paris – who tied the knot with Fury in 2009 – explained the move came from them deciding to prioritise their children’s safety.
    She said: “We get people around the house. It’s not good, we actually have to because of that.
    “We’re in the process of moving house because we’ve had too many people at the door – too many strangers knocking.
    “And we have five children here, it’s not like me and Tyson’s here, two adults who can sort of deal with situations.
    “We have people coming to the house and the kids are opening the door and we don’t know who they’re opening the door to. It’s not what we need. It’s not the ideal situation.”

    But it hasn’t always been fancy digs for Fury, as once upon a time, he lived in a caravan on his father’s land.
    Fury was raised as a traveller and left school at 11, but never lost touch with his roots despite his fame and fortune.
    Indeed, dad John still retains that way of life as shown in the Netflix doc.
    On his ITV documentary, Fury was seen wheeling his wagon around outside his Morecambe home.
    Marbella home
    Fury is also said to own a stunning white-cobbled mansion in Marbella, Spain reportedly worth up to £6m.
    Pictures from 2018 have shown Fury in front of the property which features columns, large windows and an array of palm trees.
    After revealing the pad on his story he said: ““New house had to treat myself.
    “Been a long time coming. But the Mack in back [sic]. MTV Cribs blessed by God.”

    Sin City digs
    Fury’s property empire is not limited to this side of the Atlantic either.
    Over in Las Vegas, also known as Sin City, Fury is said to own a stunning mansion as well as one other property.
    Fury explained that he uses the pad when he fights in the United States, such as in his epic trilogy with Deontay Wilder.
    And his coach SugarHill Steward has been allowed to stay at the property rent free until he is called upon to help Fury with his fight preparation.
