Gary Neville Backed By Unlikely Source Over Manchester United Rant

Gary Nevile's passionate speech about the state of his beloved Manchester United won him plenty of fans last night.

The former United and England defender was reacting to suggestions that Jose Mourinho was about to be sacked - whether he guided the side to a win over Newcastle United.

Neville argued the club was "rotten to the core" and sided with the Portugese manager rather than the owners.

Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool defender who works with Neville on Sky Sports' Premier League coverage, may not agree with his colleague on everything but he was happy to fight his corner.

He told Soccer AM today: "I think he (Neville) is right. I think there is more problems than just the board.

"Gary knows Manchester United better than anyone and he's as passionate about Manchester United as any fan and as a player you can see that. 

"I think everyone loves it when a pundit speaks passionately because it's emotional and that's what fans love to see. That's not an act, that's how he feels about his own club and you couldn't argue with anything that he's said.

"You have got to look at the players there and ask if they're doing enough and the manager himself. We all feel for managers at different times but everyone at Manchester United has got to do a lot more.

"They are great supporters at Manchester United - they haven't really turned on the manager that much because the way they've been playing has not been good enough."

Tonight, Manchester United face Newcastle United at Old Trafford.
