Manchester United greats Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs have been inducted into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame.

The pair were honoured at a ceremony in Manchester along with other legends of the game including former England defenders Norman Hunter and Stuart Pearce.

Giggs helped United win 13 Premier League titles between 1993 and 2013, while Neville collected eight Premier League winners' medals during his time at Old Trafford.

They were also members of the squad which won the Champions League in 1999 and 2008.

Giggs, 41, who is now assistant manager to Louis van Gaal, made his United debut in 1991 and went on to play more than 800 games for the club.

Neville, 42, played 569 times for United between 1992 and 2011 before joining Sky Sports as a football pundit.

Former Manchester United and Republic of Ireland central defender Paul McGrath was also inducted into the Hall of Fame along with Wales legend Ivor Allchurch and former Liverpool and England winger John Barnes.
