Manchester United legend Gary Neville has attacked local club Accrington Stanley.

Accrington Stanley owner Andy Holt has joined many in questioning Salford City's £4,000-a-week deal for Adam Rooney - a move that saw the striker switch from the Scottish Premiership to the fifth-tier of English football.

Holt accused Neville, the co-owner of the National League side, of trying to "steal" a place in the Football League.

But Salford part-owner Neville hit back on social media: "Steal! I hope it's yours now! 5 ex players have matched all investment with our co-owner to build a stadium, build a successful team in a city we love and invest in football.

"We've invested millions. You seem to want a franchise league where the established can't be challenged."

Neville then further sarcastically aimed a dig at Holt by saying: "We don't run our club right! Only poor little Accrington do!!"
