Gary Neville has hit back at a junior Sky Sports producer who accused the pundit of 'talking nonsense' over his comments about Manchester City's performances this season - with the employee subsequently deleting his Twitter account.
Connor Humm, a junior assistant producer at Sky, had criticised the the pundit on Twitter.
The Arsenal fan claimed Man City were set to surpass the achievement of the Treble winning Manchester United side Neville had played in due to their superior football this season.
The Sky employee wrote that Neville had previously questioned Man City's performances during the campaign.
‘Gary Neville said Manchester City weren’t at their usual level this season,' Humm wrote.
'They’re about to surpass his clubs greatest ever season and do it in a far more impressive way.'
Humm, in a separate post, claimed that Neville had been 'talking nonsense'.
Neville responded to the initial post by responding 'You okay? They weren’t at their usual level. What a weird point to make.
'Tag me in by the way if you work at Sky. Don’t be shy.'
Humm deleted his Twitter account following the social media spat with the Sky Sports pundit.
The spat followed Man City's 4-0 win over Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final, with Pep Guardiola's side advancing 5-1 on aggregate.
City are now closing in on the prospect of a Treble having set up a final against Inter Milan next month.
The reigning English champions moved to the brink of claiming a fifth Premier League title in six years, while they will also play Man United in the FA Cup final.

The pundits turned ManU team into what they are today. All the foreign exited players under their nose for their England choice players are the idol and play makers in their various clubs.

Sometimes it's not good to comment on each and everything u see Gary Neville as a person I hate him though he's a united legend he talks to even what he's see is real and un avoidable yes it's good to have envy against city since we're rival's but the truth as much as I love my united team the same I do to Madrid and Portugal as well the truth be told City is just too good to hate at the moment it was just a peace of reminder to those who didn't watch the 2010/11 final between Barcelona vs Man united so yesterday Guardiola showed it back to all of us that he's a genius in it.... for my fellow real united fans let's accept city is the current best team in the world
v intelligent words shared here. he should learn not to pay attention to every fan's words and besides the fan's words were true to a level. G Neville talks way too much and it's not punditry anymore. that's just seeking for notice
