Man forgot he’s live on Sky, not in the away end."The ex-England man has had to contend with accusations of being unprofessional in his commentary role and even admitted to doing so during United's 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in April 2022.Neville's praise of Hannibal Mejbri led to widespread criticism after the now-Burnley midfielder committed two aggressive fouls within minutes of coming on in the 84th minute.After being handed a yellow card for taking out Jordan Henderson, the Tunisian ace risked being sent off after a similarly-harsh challenge on Naby Keita just seconds later.While commentating for Sky Sports, Neville admitted he was "proud" of Hannibal's passion as he said: "To be fair, at least the kid's showing a bit of something. Maybe he doesn’t like the idea of Liverpool players passing round him.

I wish the rest of them were the same." It was only after the game when Neville put his hands up and admitted he stepped over the line when it came to be objective in his duties."That is why I aired on to the slightly unprofessional side of commentary tonight," Neville said. He didn’t like the idea of Liverpool, at Anfield, passing it around him and the idea of Liverpool taking the mick out of him and his teammates."Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football.
