Manchester United legend Gary Neville admitted that he ‘aired on to the slightly unprofessional’ side when he praised Hannibal Mejbri’s robust tackle on Liverpool ’s Naby Keita.
The Red Devils were dealt another humiliating football lesson by Jurgen Klopp’s rampant Merseysiders on Tuesday night. A Mohamed Salah brace accompanied by goals from Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane sealed an easy 4-0 home victory over Ralf Rangnick’s side.
Very few, if any, United players were able to depart Anfield with any credit, but Neville did praise young United midfielder Hannibal , who made his presence known by sprinting into a challenge and hitting Keita with a firm tackle. But after Neville praised the Tunisian ace’s gritty tackle, the former United captain admitted his commentary strayed into unprofessional waters.
