'It's f****** obvious!' - Gary Neville swears live on Sky Sports

A Sky Sports microphone picked up Gary Neville swearing during Sunday's broadcast of Liverpool 0-0 draw with Manchester City.

As fellow commentator Martin Tyler delivered his half-time summary to millions of viewers, Neville could be heard in the background ranting.

'That's the only thing he'll be thinking,' said Neville, who presumably did not realise he was within range of Tyler's microphone. 'It's f****** obvious. After a week like that…'

Sky presenter David Jones said on air at the end of the match: 'Apologies incidentally if you heard any bad language at all during our broadcast today.'

It remains unclear what Neville was talking about.

Earlier in the match, Neville had stated his case that City should have had a penalty when Sergio Aguero stumbled under a clumsy challenge from Dejan Lovren.

Neville spoke even more passionately earlier this week when reacting to a report about Jose Mourinho.

After hearing rumours that claimed the Manchester United board had decided to sack  Mourinho regardless of the result in Saturday's game with Newcastle — which the Red Devils won 3-2 — Neville launched into a furious tirade.

Speaking on Friday, he told Sky: 'If this is true and Jose Mourinho is going to walk out to Old Trafford as almost a dead man walking, those fans will absolutely turn towards that boardroom. It's an absolute disgrace.

'I have to say Jose Mourinho will get the biggest support in his life inside that ground tomorrow. I'll be there to give it him!

'The dressing-room is leading what is happening. The tail is wagging the dog at the football club. Get some control back. Get some leadership. For me, at this moment in time, I am furious.

'Something has to change and it isn't the manager – it's above that. It comes to a point where this would be the fourth manager in six years. You have to look at not the manager but the people who are bringing them in, the people signing the players and sanctioning the deals.'
