Man Utd coach Neville hammered on Twitter for BBC punditry

Manchester United coach Phil Neville has been hammered for his performance as a pundit for the BBC.

Neville faced a Twitter backlash on his World Cup debut for BBC, as he commentated on England's game against Italy alongside Guy Mowbray.

Danny Baker, who hosts a Saturday morning sports show on BBC Radio Five Live, was one of many to criticise the former Everton midfielder.

Former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann, who has appeared as a BBC Match of the Day pundit, even warned Neville not to check his Twitter during half-time.

"If Phil Neville reads his twitter feed he may not come out for the second half," wrote the German.
