Gary Neville setting the media agenda when it comes to Manchester United is not a new thing. One instance was in December 2021, after a poor first-half performance against a struggling Newcastle side when Ralf Rangnick's side trailed 1-0 at the break. "They're a bunch of whinge-bags," Neville said at half-time on Sky Sports.
