Man Utd skipper Neville blasts FIFA chief Warner

Manchester United captain Gary Neville is fed-up with the sniping of FIFA vice-president Jack Warner.

Warner claims England's 2018 World Cup bid is lagging behind and lacks star quality.

Neville stormed: "Warner is a law unto himself - somebody like him shouldn't be coming out with comments like that.

"According to him, England's bid has fallen behind those of Spain, Portugal and Russia. He described the people promoting England's bid as 'lightweight' and suggested we should be getting people like David Beckham and the Queen to lobby FIFA's executive committee members.

"He should keep a position of independence, sitting above everything and making decisions in private."

England right-back Neville added: "I didn't realise that if we threw the Queen up in front of Jack, we would suddenly get the World Cup. I think England is the hub of football with incredible stadiums."
