Former Manchester United star Paul Parker has claimed that Sky Sports viewers are 'fed up' of watching Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, claiming the broadcaster is 'alienating' its viewers.

Neville and Carragher recently found themselves on the receiving end of criticism from Rio Ferdinand following Arsenal's 5-1 win over Manchester City earlier this month, as the pair of pundits questioned Myles Lewis-Skelly for mimicking Erling Haaland's 'zen' celebration as he put the Gunners 3-1 up.

Ferdinand said that football fans ought to "let the kids come out and express themselves" while also branding old team-mate Neville in particular as tasteless, given his own previous in-game celebrations.



And now, Parker – who also played with Neville and appeared for the Red Devils between 1991 and 1996 – has claimed that football fans are growing tired of Carragher and Neville on Sky Sports, citing how the presenters "wear their allegiances on their sleeves" instead of being unbiased.

Speaking to MyBettingSites, Parker said: "In the past, as a pundit or commentator, you had to be as neutral as possible.

They’re fed up with Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher.

Fans want to watch the game and listen to analysis from someone who has played at the highest level, someone who understands the realities of professional football."

Elsewhere, Parker also claimed that fans of the beautiful game want to see fresh persepctives emerging through the country's biggest broadcasters, adding: "People don’t want someone constantly dissecting every issue at a club.

Viewers respect Jamie for the number of games he played and Gary for the titles he won.
