'Sue wanted a day off, Alan took a holiday!': Gary Neville mocks Man United and Ralf Rangnick for decision to allow players time away with Jesse Lingard absent to 'clear his mind' and Edinson Cavani not available

Gary Neville has taken aim at Manchester United after Ralf Rangnick allowed a number of players time off ahead of their FA Cup clash against Middlesbrough.

At his press conference earlier today, it was confirmed by the interim manager that both Jesse Lingard and Edinson Cavani have requested extra days away.

Lingard has been afforded the time to 'clear his mind' after failing to secure a deadline day move away, while Cavani played for Uruguay in World Cup qualifying.
