Man Utd fans have been left furious at their former player for what he said live on air…

😬 “Unbelievable Disrespect!” — Manchester United Fans Furious at Gary Neville After His Live On-Air Comments During Brighton Clash 🎙️

Manchester United supporters have erupted in anger after hearing former club legend Gary Neville’s controversial remarks during live commentary of United’s clash against Brighton & Hove Albion. What should have been a routine broadcast turned into a firestorm of frustration, as fans accused Neville of showing a lack of respect toward his former club — and even appearing to side with the opposition.

The incident occurred midway through the first half when Brighton took the lead following a defensive lapse from United. As the replay rolled, Neville delivered a brutally honest assessment of the Red Devils’ performance, describing the defending as “chaotic, disorganized, and completely uncoachable.” His comments immediately drew attention, with supporters taking to social media to vent their fury.

“I can’t believe what I’m hearing from Neville,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter). “He talks about United like he never played for us.”
“Gary Neville has turned into our biggest critic,” another wrote. “He’s forgotten what loyalty looks like.”
A third added, “Every week it’s the same — he slates the club, the players, the manager… enough is enough.”

Neville, who spent nearly two decades at Manchester United and won multiple Premier League and Champions League titles under Sir Alex Ferguson, has never been shy about voicing his opinions. But this latest outburst struck a particularly raw nerve among the fanbase.

His tone throughout the broadcast was described by many as “cold and condescending”, with some suggesting he seemed to relish pointing out United’s flaws. When Brighton doubled their lead, Neville remarked that “United are miles away from where they used to be — this isn’t a top-four team anymore.” That line, in particular, sent shockwaves through the fan community.

While some viewers defended him, arguing that Neville was simply doing his job as a pundit and offering honest analysis, a large section of the fanbase saw it differently. For many, the issue wasn’t the criticism itself — it was the timing, tone, and relentless negativity that made it feel like betrayal.

One frustrated supporter summed up the mood perfectly:

“You can criticize without humiliating us. Gary’s forgotten what this badge means.”

The debate raged online throughout the evening, with #Neville trending across social platforms. Even neutral fans weighed in, noting how unique it is to see a club legend draw so much ire from his own supporters.

Despite the backlash, Neville appeared unfazed as he continued his commentary, maintaining his stance that Manchester United are “a team in decline” and that “brutal honesty is the only way they’ll improve.”

However, inside Old Trafford circles, his comments have reportedly not gone unnoticed. Sources suggest that several current players were “disappointed” by his remarks, feeling that such public criticism only adds pressure to an already tense environment.

For now, the rift between Neville and the fanbase continues to deepen. Once hailed as a symbol of United’s fighting spirit, he now finds himself painted by some as part of the problem — a voice that, instead of inspiring change, has amplified the discontent.

As the fallout grows, one thing is clear: for many Manchester United fans, Gary Neville may have just crossed a line that can’t easily be uncrossed.
