'I feel like I let you down': Gary Neville apologises to Raheem Sterling for 'inadequate' advice in private meeting they shared at Euro 2016 after Man City star approached then-England assistant amid targeted racist abuse

Gary Neville admitted that he let Raheem Sterling down after the two had a meeting at Euro 2016 to discuss racial abuse that the winger was receiving.

The former Manchester United defender, who was part of the England coaching set-up at the time, revealed that he was 'totally inappropriate' during the meeting as he implied that former England stars David Beckham, Paul Gascoigne and Wayne Rooney had all suffered abuse of their own.

The Sky Sports pundit said he did not treat the situation in the correct way, in light of the Black Lives Matter campaigning across the globe.
