Ex-referee Mark Clattenburg has spoken out after comments about him by former Manchester United defender Gary Neville.

Clattenburg was the subject of Neville's criticism surrounding his new role at Nottingham Forest.

The ex-Premier League official is a new referee analyst for Forest at their City Ground.

Neville called the move “a step too far," as Clattenburg's role would involve him telling Forest about whether or not decisions in their games were correct.

Clattenburg told The Times: “I am disappointed that Gary Neville has come out with what he said.

“His employer, Sky Sports, employs ex-referees to help fans and viewers understand the Laws of the Game, and Nottingham Forest are just doing the same."
