Gary Neville has shared a five-point plan to save the Premier League season.

The coronavirus outbreak forced the Premier League to suspend games from 13 March with confirmation the league will not resume until May at the earliest.

Debate has been raging for weeks over the handling of the current season and whether it will be finished or cancelled altogether – as is the case now with leagues below National League level.

The former Manchester United player’s idea comes in response to reports that players are upset at the prospect of playing three games in five days in order to complete the current campaign before the summer.

The Sky Sports pundit insists it is an inevitability that players must face a “9-10 game hit in an extremely condensed period” and that ”contracts should be temporarily extended”.
