The tweet from the Sky Sports pundit led to massive speculation among United fans, a lot of whom were convinced that Neville has an inside scoop on the story.

Ronaldo is reportedly unhappy with his situation in Madrid, and it has been suggested that he wants to leave Spain this summer.

Meanwhile, much to the disappointment of United fans, Neville shortly admitted on Twitter that he was only joking about the Portuguese superstar.
