Gary Neville has further added to his criticism of his former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, questioning his failure to front up after Sunday's loss to Aston Villa.
The 37-year-old skippered United at Villa Park in the absence of Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, and Neville was disappointed the veteran did not speak out following the game.
Speaking on the Overlap, Neville said: "He [Ronaldo] went out as the captain of Manchester United and the team lost. Your job is to speak at the end of the match. I’ve been there in that position.
"If you win, the player who scored the goal or the star man goes out and speaks. If you lose, it’s your goalkeeper, it’s your centre-back or it’s your captain. Why did we not hear from him? He should have been there to say, “This is what we did wrong today, we’re going to work hard for next week and we’re going to be ready for the next game”.
"I think he should actually speak, no one’s heard him speak for six months, we don’t hear from him. I think the reason why I said previously that Manchester United would be better without him and that he would be better without Manchester United was I expect so much of him because I played with him for six years.
"You take ownership of what happened. You don’t leave it to other people to answer your stuff for you."

Gary, this boy is most successful player ever to play in your country. One thing we know that many of you Ex players have nothing good in your careers. Gary went to Valencia as a manager, Rooney has been fired several times, Lampard and Gerrard were recently fired too. Sitting in studio to talk nonsense is what you are paid for. Gary Neuvile has never seen your jersey in my entire in any African store for sale. You and so called pundits and useless English players have never won any trophy for your country. You guys are very ungrateful. The foreigner in England 🇬🇧 make your league to be up to standard not those useless English players that are highly rated by the like of you. No team in other countries can buy Maguire for even 50 Millions. Respect foreign players.

the problem with Ronaldo fans is that they don't want to accept that his time is over..

What his 5 Balon D'Ors have to do with Man United? Football is a game of NOW and only NOW matters in football. So long as he can't deliver now, he must retire or go to bench. Instagram posting, his sisters criticism, refusing to sub in, going down the tunnel before the game is off or snubbing people doesn't make any changes.
