Man Utd legend Neville insists he has nothing against Chelsea's Luiz

Manchester United legend Gary Neville insists he has nothing against Chelsea defender David Luiz.

Neville famously lambasted Luiz earlier this season as being controlled by a kid playing his PlayStation.

"Once or twice I have overstepped the mark and said things in innocence but I can see why it gets portrayed in a certain way," he said.

"The David Luiz comment was a moment in time, describing a performance within a game. It wasn't 'I don't think he is a good player and he never will be a good player' like it has been interpreted for the last two years.

"He was sensational against United at Old Trafford and there are incredible merits in him. But through that statement it is like people think I have turned off him as a player."
