Neville used the term to describe a wayward effort from £85million Red Devil from Antony.
And fans watching the match couldn’t help but take to Twitter to share their bemusement at the turn of phrase.
One tweeted: “Flutter kick? Gary Neville, you alright mate?”
Another said: “Flutter kick? What is blud on about?”
And another said: “Wtf is a flutter kick @GNev2 talking utter s***e.”
One remarked: “Flutter kick. Not too sure that will catch on.
“Mainly as it makes absolutely no sense.”
Another chimed in: “Antony 100m flutter kick.”

One asked: “What is a flutter kick, Gary Neville? Either way, it was in the rafters.”
Another asked: “WTF is a flutter kick lad?”
And another asked: “Flutter kick. I honestly think I’m in the twilight zone.”
United were lucky to go into the second half on level terms as Newcastle dominated the majority of the first period.
Eddie Howe’s troops went for the jugular from the get-go.
Erik ten Hag had David de Gea to thank for his charges not trailing at the half-time interval as the Spaniard made an incredible double save in the 15th minute to deny Alexander Isak and Joe Willock.
But the Magpies broke the deadlock in the 64th minute through Willock, who headed home from inside the six-yard box to send the St James’ Park faithful into raptures.
