Gary Neville slams "corrupt" LaLiga after extraordinary Kylian Mbappe transfer statement

Gary Neville has labelled LaLiga "corrupt" and told Spanish football chiefs to "do one" following their extraordinary response to Kylian Mbappe 's decision to stay at Paris Saint-Germain.

The French sensation has signed a new and groundbreaking three-year contract with the club, having previously been set to depart for LaLiga giants Real Madrid when his old deal expired in June. Mbappe's u-turn, confirmed shortly before he scored a perfectly-timed hat-trick as PSG hammered Metz 5-0 at the Parc des Princes, has left Spanish bigwigs fuming. In a lengthy statement, LaLiga described the situation as "scandalous" and confirmed that a complaint will be filed to UEFA among other authorities.

Neville, however, took aim at them and tweeted: "LaLiga can do one! As corrupt as the rest." The former Manchester United captain, who took part in a legends charity match on Saturday, spent four months working in Spain as manager of Valencia six years ago.
