Peter Schmeichel backs Man City to win Premier League title
The old rivals meet at Old Trafford on Sunday in a showdown which will likely have a big impact on the Premier League title race.
United are eight points adrift of their table-topping neighbours and their challenge could be all but over if they lose to Pep Guardiola’s men.
Neville has been drafted in to feature on Sky Sports’ coverage of the fixture, alongside fellow ex-pros Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness.
City are not represented by a former player of theirs though and will instead have Oasis legend and Sky Blues supporter Noel Gallagher in their corner.
We can’t find an ex City player that’s won anything!
Manchester United legend Gary Neville trolls Manchester City
One United fan responded angrily to the revelation on Twitter, saying: "Ha what a joke.
"Get an actual former City player.
"Sky gone to the dogs"
And Neville couldn’t help but savagely troll United’s rivals in his response to the online outburst.
