England legend Banks blasts Man Utd icon Neville over De Gea rap

England legend Gordon Banks has blasted Gary Neville for his criticism of Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea.

Neville rapped De Gea for his weak punch which led to Tottenham's equaliser on Sunday.

Banks said: "I was very upset to hear Gary Neville talking about how the players were disgusted with him (De Gea), how they were looking at him after he hadn't punched the ball quite clear. I thought, 'Hang on a minute, everybody makes mistakes in matches'.

"I found it a bit strange that he (Neville) was saying they'd go back in the dressing room and give De Gea a telling-off."
