'He went absolutely MAD': Gary Neville reveals the moment iconic Man United boss Sir Alex Ferguson 'SNAPPED' when Ruud van Nistelrooy swapped shirts with a Man City star... with rivals set for FA Cup final clash on Saturday

Gary Neville has opened up on the moment 'all hell broke loose' when Ruud van Nistelrooy entered the Manchester United dressing room wearing a Manchester City shirt.

The two clubs, bitter historic rivals, had just faced off in the Manchester derby on November 2002, which saw City win 3-1 after a mistake from right-back Neville.

And the pundit revealed how legendary former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson erupted with fury at striker Van Nistelrooy.

The Dutch star had accepted a request to swap shirts with a victorious opponent and walked in clad in City's colours.
