Gary Neville has hit back at the criticism he has received since announcing he will join beIN Sports as a pundit for this winter's World Cup in Qatar.
The channel is owned by the Qatar state, which will host the tournament that kicks off in a month's time. The Middle East country outlaws homosexuality and has faced heavy criticism from human rights groups, while former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is among the high-profile figures to take aim at the tournament.
Despite the numerous concerns over Qatar's attitude towards human rights, Neville recently revealed he will join their broadcaster as a pundit. Neville faced a heavy backlash after announcing his link-up with beIN Sports.
