Brother of Man Utd midfielder Lingard slams ex-captains Keane and Neville

The brother of Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has hit out at former captains Roy Keane and Gary Neville.

Keane was furious after the Red Devils fell to a 2-0 loss at home to Manchester City on Saturday afternoon, admitting he has "given up" before tearing into their defence.

"I've often had it when I've not been at the races in a game and I go, 'You know what, what I might do is go and smash into somebody'," Keane said on Sky Sports.

Neville was equally despondent about the defeat but refused to pin the blame for the result on under-pressure manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Lingard, 28, was an unused substitute during the derby and his brother, Louie Scott, posted to social media: "Didn't know Sky show live training sessions now.

"Keane just said go smash someone. Pogba did it last week and got killed for it by Scholes. Double standards."

He added: "Stop reading into these pundits!!! Still waiting for G.Nev to talk about body language...Oh I forgot he will only say that about the players."
