A clip showing Manchester United hero Gary Neville 'discovering what a holiday is' has gone viral as Liverpool FC and other football supporters poked fun at him on social media.
Neville and his long-standing affiliation with United make him the pantomime villain at Anfield and beyond and his on-screen exchanges with Liverpool favourite Jamie Carragher are very often box office. However, in this particular scenario, Carragher had no direct part to play.
Instead, the Reds' faithful are waiting to see what Carragher has to say after setting his sights on the hilarious clip which has been doing the rounds. It features Neville chatting to Steven Bartlett when sitting down back in August 2022 on his The Diary of a CEO podcast episode.

One particular segment - where Neville discusses the benefits of a holiday or, as he labels them, mini retirements - has been picked up on, replayed and taunted as amused Twitter users show little mercy. Neville and Carragher are yet to retweet the clip, but it might be only a matter of time as far as the latter is concerned.
On the video, Neville said: "What you can have is mini retirements during the year and that's what I've tried to do, I don't do it very well. So for instance, this weekend I'm going to Spain, Friday until Monday morning. I call that like a mini retirement."
At which point, Bartlett quips: "That's a weekend!"
Neville, 48, continued: "It's a weekend, it's a mini retirement. I basically say for three days I'm there and I'm basically taking it... I don't think about work - and I will - but sometimes my best ideas come when I'm on these type of trips but then in six weeks I'll have another mini retirement for five days or four days, rather than thinking you're going to stop for six months and sort of have a sabbatical.
"That's not probably going to happen with people like you or I because we just basically don't work that way. So to have lots of mini retirements during the year is what I've tried to do in the last few years."
