Gary Neville takes swipe at Ed Woodward with savage tweet after Manchester United defeat to Man City

Gary Neville hit out at recently departed chief executive Ed Woodward after Manchester United’s dismal 4-1 derby day defeat on Sunday.

Despite putting in a decent showing in the first half at the Etihad, United where thoroughly swept aside in the second half by Manchester City. Having fallen 2-1 down before the break thanks to a Kevin De Bruyne double either side of Jadon Sancho’s strike, a Riyad Mahrez brace saw the hosts ease to victory.

In truth, it could have been more for City, who simply dominated the second half as United failed to lay a glove on them. One particularly damning stat was flashed up by Sky Sports during the second half, showing the hosts had enjoyed 92 per cent of possession for the previous 15 minutes of the game.
