Manchester United legend Gary Neville has hit out at Liverpool for mocking his old team's defeat at Watford.

Liverpool’s in-house social media team clearly believed they could have a joke at United expense as they encouraged @UnitedStandMUFC to delete their message following a woeful loss for their team at Vicarage Road.

Neville responded on Twitter, stating: "Official club account mocking greatest rivals 5 games into a season with a game coming up in a few weeks. Why do it?

" Don't mind a tweet like that at all but IF that United changing room isn't wound up now it never will be!!

"And if I was a Liverpool player id be hammering the Twitter guy!!"
