MANCHESTER UNITED legend Gary Neville has been lambasted online after predicting his former team would beat Manchester City.
Neville’s pre-match claim didn’t age well at all as United were thrashed 6-3 at the Etihad following hat-tricks by Erling Haaland and Phil Foden.
The star pundit shared a clip on his personal Twitter account taunting ex-City ace and fellow Sky Sports analyst Micah Richards telling him Pep Guardiola’s side were “getting done” before kick-off.
Neville said: “Well, I’ve just seen the teams here at the Etihad and this lot are getting done! They’re getting done.”
Richards warned: “Don’t count your chickens, Gary. You’ve done this many times with [Jamie] Carragher.”
However, Neville confidently responded: “My chickens have been counted.”

But that optimism couldn’t have lasted long as United found themselves 4-0 down by half-time.
Fans flooded Neville’s comments section and didn’t hold back as they slammed his earlier words.
One fan tweeted: “Gary Neville before the start of the game – City are getting done… Just like your punditry…not a blooming clue.”
Another posted: “Listening to the Gary Neville commentary on Sky, he’s definitely holding back tears.”
