GARY Neville and Ryan Giggs have pushed back the opening of their Hotel Football at Old Trafford from December to March.

In a statement their company GG Hospitality said the extra time was needed to, “develop unique features, beyond our original plans”.

These adjustments include extedning the rooftop five-a-side pitch.

The 130-bed hotel is being built by Galliford Try on a small plot of land off Sir Matt Busby Way opposite the stadium.

A spokesperson said: “We have worked closely with the contractor every step of the way and we have decided to delay the opening of the hotel until March 2 so we can further develop unique features, beyond our original plans.

“From now until the opening in March, we will be enhancing the conference and banqueting facilities and will also be extending our rooftop 5-a-side football pitch and event space by over 50%. We want to ensure the supporters and hotel guests have an unforgettable experience when they visit us and this additional preparation time will ensure this. It’ll be worth the wait.”
