Manchester United icon Gary Neville likens FIFA president Gianni Infantino to Donald Trump in furious rant

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has slammed FIFA president Gianni Infantino at the opening game of the World Cup between Qatar and Ecuador.

Neville was responding to Infantino's comments yesterday where he said: "Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arabic. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled." He then proceeded to criticise Europe's criticism of Qatar hosting the tournament labelling them 'hypocrites'.

Qatar has been condemned for their human rights track record as well as the deaths of migrant workers during the construction of stadiums in the Arabic country. Appearing on the Qatari state owned broadcaster BeIN Sports, Neville took aim at Infantino.
