      Ann Knowles, 67, had left her wheelchair at home thinking that her family would be able to park right outside steak restaurant Fazenda in Manchester on Mother’s Day.
      But they discovered that all the spaces were taken when they arrived.
      So the 67-year-old began the difficult, eight minute journey with the help of her husband Phil, 69, and granddaughter Jess Ward, 19 and her partner Kian Kempshall, 19.
      But on their way to meet more family members at the restaurant, Jess called mum Samantha in tears as they were considering turning back with an exhausted Ann.

      Mum-of-three Samantha couldn’t believe it when she was told that her mum would be dropped off at the restaurant by Neville.
      She said: “Mum was exhausted because they’d been walking for ages and then out of nowhere there was Gary Neville who said he could see they needed help and he couldn’t leave her.

      “The boys are massive United fans so they went legging it through the restaurant. We said to the waiter that we’d be back in a minute, Gary Neville had come to drop my mum off and they looked at us like we’d gone mad, they probably thought we were doing a runner.
      “I told him he’d done a good deed for the day, that he was amazing and he’s saved Mother’s Day for my mum.
      “He was lovely, he said he could see she needed help and he couldn’t leave her. He came at the exact time she needed him.”
      The family, who are all big United fans, managed to get a few snaps with Neville before he set off back on his journey.

      The Lilywhites want the record fee in a single up-front payment.

      Newcastle ‘to launch Scott McTominay transfer swoop’ with Man Utd midfielder’s arrival great news for Bruno Guimaraes

      by

      NEWCASTLE are planning a summer bid for Manchester United ace Scott McTominay, reports suggest.That is according to the Telegraph, who report that Eddie Howe believes McTominay as can add a greater physical presence to his midfield.

      Howe is also confident the Scotland international would compliment Bruno Guimaraes by shielding the back-four while the Brazilian adds creativity further up the pitch.
      The Toon tried to sign the 26-year-old in January but United refused to sell to a direct Premier League rival.
      However, Newcastle are now confident the Red Devils’ resolve will soften as manager Erik ten Hag will need to raise funds as he continues his Old Trafford rebuild.
      McTominay is not the glamorous name Toon fans had in mind after their £300million Saudi-led takeover in 2021 but chief scout Steve Nickson, director of football Dan Ashworth and Howe are big fans.

      The Tyneside giants need a defensive midfielder after losing Jonjo Shelvey to Nottingham Forest and the manager prefers to sign players with Premier League experience.
      Plus, the Magpies are pushing for a Champions League finish and would need McTominay’s experience in Europe.
      The United academy graduate has played in the Champions League and Europa League but has fallen down the pecking order behind Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Fred and Marcel Sabitzer.
      And McTominay could be keen to move to a club like Newcastle who want to give him a key role with more opportunities at top level.

      The United ace would add muscle in midfield and an extra threat at set-pieces.
      It is also believed that McTominay is also the kind of player who could dramatically improve under Howe’s coaching.
      The midfielder has only managed two goals and one assist in 32 matches across all competitions this season. More
