Ruben Amorim has accused Gary Neville of being ‘critical about everything’ after his no-nonsense analysis of the Manchester derby.

The former Manchester United defender didn’t hold back as he slammed the quality of Sunday’s goalless clash with Manchester City.

United mustered just two shots on target during a quiet derby at Old Trafford.

Neville launched into an explosive rant during his analysis on Sky Sports, which even saw him apologise for his own performance on co-commentary.

Amorim has now hit back with an answer that had some reporters laughing during his own post-match press conference.

When responding to a question about Neville’s comments, Amorim smiled as he said: “I understand that Gary Neville is critical about everything so I understand that part.

“Then I understand that we are in the moment that we are doing the worst season in history.

We are not fighting for the big things so of course it’s different but you have to look at the context of the game.

“I understand the critical aspect of the players that played in this game in a different way because they were fighting every time for the titles so it’s a different context.”

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola accused Manchester United supporters of lacking class after singing vulgar chants about Phil Foden's mother during Sunday's derby.

Guardiola said rival supporters should be ashamed having also targeted the England international as he left the field following a drab goalless draw at Old Trafford.

He said: "The chants to him?

But it's what it is, it's happening everywhere I would say, not just in UK, everywhere."

Gary Neville pinpointed where Manchester United must improve in an explosive rant following their derby day draw.

The Red Devils held Manchester City to a 0-0 stalemate at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Neville's former club mustered just two shots on target during the match, where he was on co-commentary duties for Sky Sports.

Neville explained: "I think they all walked off thinking ‘we’re ok here we got away without making a mistake’.

Honestly, the whole game."

Phil Foden endured another difficult afternoon as he lasted less than an hour of the goalless draw at Old Trafford.

Foden, who masterminded a 3-1 comeback win in the Manchester derby last season, has struggled to find his best form all season.

However, Pep Guardiola rejected the suggestion that the England ace is low on confidence and stressed he will regain his true self.

“When the team is not playing at the level that we had, it looks like everyone is not what they were,” he said.

“I see the passion and smile on his face every day in training and that is what I want.

“You see the numbers of players who have been four, five, six years.

They don't score enough goals, and they've not done for the last year or two and that's not going to change."
