Gary Neville turns on a junior Sky Sports producer, who publicly slammed him for ‘talking nonsense’ on Twitter, telling him to ‘tag me – don’t be shy’ before the assistant deleted his account
Gary Neville has hit back at a junior Sky Sports producer who accused the pundit of ‘talking nonsense’ about his comments about Manchester City’s performance this season – with the employee subsequently deleting his Twitter account.
Connor Humm, a junior assistant producer at Sky, had criticized the pundit on Twitter.
The Arsenal fan claimed that Man City are close to surpassing the feat of Manchester United’s treble-winning side Neville played in due to his superior football this season.
The Sky employee wrote that Neville had already questioned Man City’s performance during the campaign.
“Gary Neville said Manchester City were not at their usual level this season,” Humm wrote.

‘Tag me by the way if you work at Sky. Do not be shy.
