Gary Neville shows class by buying Man City fan FA Cup tickets - but there's a catch

Gary Neville has responded to a Manchester City fan by offering to pay for him and his son to attend the FA Cup final - provided they don't sign songs about rivals Manchester United.

The player turned pundit, who won the FA Cup on three occasions during his career, was challenged by a fan on Twitter after he mocked the City attendance at Wembley on Saturday. Only 69,603 fans attended the last four clash - 20,000 short of capacity - which City comfortably won 3-0.

Pockets of empty seats could be seen throughout the TV coverage whilst certain sections weren't even opened. The cost of travel down from the north west, coupled with the ticket itself, has priced out a host of fans. Neville appeared to anger the City supporters when he made light of their attendance figures on social media.
