Gary Neville packs on the PDA with wife Emma Hadfield as the couple cosy up during Newcastle Festival

Gary Neville affectionately showed public displays of affection towards his beautiful spouse, Emma Hadfield, during their fun-filled night at the Newcastle Festival on Friday.

50, I am (or I’ve become), a fervent devotee who can’t hide it, and there I was, utterly smitten, sharing an enchanting moment with Emma, 45, as we locked lips amidst the electrifying atmosphere of The Reytons’ mesmerizing performance on stage.

For the occasion, Gary presented a relaxed appearance, dressed in a dark grey denim jacket paired with a graphic tee, accompanied by faded blue jeans and brown suede Chelsea boots.

Gary had a casual style for the outing, sporting a dark grey denim jacket on top of a graphic T-shirt, coupled with worn-out blue jeans and brown Chelsea boots made of suede.

In a lively mood, the ex-Manchester United player was seen holding what seemed like a pint of Guinness, while recording the performing band onstage.

While Emma was stylishly dressed, she wore a sleek black leather jacket on top of a slightly see-through black lace top.

Emma sported an effortless chic look in a black leather coat layered over a delicate black lace blouse with transparency.

She flaunted her well-tanned and fit legs in a pair of casual, light-blue denim shorts. To complete the style, she wore stylish black lace-up boots and carried a sleek black Yves Saint Laurent shoulder bag.

The duo was noticed grooving to the tunes of indie rock group The Reytons, serving as openers for main act Kings of Leon.

Following an uncomfortable conversation on Monday Night Football last week when Gary criticized Jamie Carragher, 47, for his supposedly disrespectful season predictions, their get-together happens subsequently.

The pair shared their insights about potential outcomes for the season on Sky Sports following the initial weekend of premier league matches. These games included defending champions Liverpool beating Bournemouth 4-2, Manchester City crushing Wolves 4-0, and Arsenal securing a tight 1-0 win over Manchester United.

Jamie anticipates that Liverpool, his former team, will keep the championship under Arne Slot’s leadership this season. In contrast, Gary predicts that Arsenal will take the lead for the first time in four seasons, having been runners-up for three years consecutively.

Although they had differing opinions about who would win the title, the duo remained friendly until Gary chose Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim as his top pick for this season, which led Jamie to burst out laughing.

‘Why you laughing? It’s disrespect,’ Gary said as Jamie was chuckling.

In response, the ex-Liverpool player indicated that they consistently choose the Manchester United manager annually. Last year, he noted, the selection committee chose three managers, one of whom was Erik ten Hag.

Gary stated: ‘His behavior is unacceptable, as it was similarly problematic last year. Ten Hag, since I realized that if he began poorly last season, he would face immense pressure.’

In a similar manner, Ruben Amorim faces the possibility of significant stress if his performance starts poorly and the team finds themselves in the lower ranks (13th or 14th) by October or November.

As the manager of Manchester United, it’s crucial for him to produce results during the early stages of the season. I believe he will surpass expectations.

Achieving better than where exactly? You predicted they’ll end up in fourth place.

Indeed, Gary confirmed. I understand your uncertainty regarding him, and as you penned in your piece the other day, you seem to believe he’s less than exceptional…

The ex-United player’s comment sparked an instant exchange between the two analysts, where they seemed to interrupt one another. Immediately, Jamie challenged, “Did I say that? You’ll need to check the text.

Gary then asked: ‘Well, what was your article about?’

The conversation revolved around the two managers, specifically Mikel Arteta from Arsenal and another unnamed manager named Amorim. If roles were reversed between them within the next three to four years, Amorim would be thrilled to find himself in Arteta’s position.

On Monday night, an argument over something irritating disrupted the segment for predicted managers. Instead of naming his pick, Jamie chose Oliver Glasner from Crystal Palace as his notable manager prospect.

Both parties agreed that Manchester City was among the top three teams vying for the title, alongside Arsenal and Liverpool, as potential champions.
