'A fly attacking an elephant!' - Neville clashes with ex-Man Utd team-mate & fans over 'Glazers Out' protests

Gary Neville has taken a swipe at Manchester United fans protesting the ownership of the Glazer family, describing them as “muppets”.

Neville also took aim at former United player John O’Kane, who defended the fans involved in the protests.

The supporters’ group Glazers Out Movement (GOM) last month released an open letter posing ‘five key questions’ to the Glazers, with O’Kane on the list of signatories.

O’Kane started his career at United in the early 1990s but did not enjoy the same success as Neville and the ‘Class of ‘92’. He left in 1998 after making 10 first-team appearances, carving out a career for himself with Everton, Bolton Wanderers, Blackpool and Hyde United.
