Gary Neville has taken to social media to respond to Cristiano Ronaldo after the Manchester United forward said the Sky Sports pundit was only using him for fame.
Ronaldo launched a scathing attack on his former United team-mate during his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan on Talk TV.
The 37-year-old said Neville was trying to 'take advantage' of him as he is the 'No 1 followed guy in the world' and that the pundit was using his name for 'fame'.
Neville took to Twitter to say: 'Anyone for dinner?' in response of Ronaldo's comments about them not being friends and not going for dinner together.
Neville's Tweet came shortly after Ronaldo said the following: 'To listen as ex-colleagues or team-mates criticise you, when they only see one point of view. It's easy.
'It's easy to criticise, I don't know if you have a job in television that they must criticise to be more famous. I really don't understand it. It's hard when you see people who was in the dressing room with you criticising that way.'
He went on to say: 'I think they take advantage of that because they are not stupid,' Ronaldo said. 'I'm the No 1 followed guy in the world. It's not by coincidence.'
Ronaldo went on to vent his frustration over the criticism he received from his former team-mate and strike partner Rooney.
'Me too (I'm surprised about this). Piers, I don't understand. You should ask the questions to him,' he said. 'I don't know. I don't know why he criticised me so badly.
'Probably (it's jealously). Probably - because he finished his career in his 30s. I'm still playing at a high level; I'm not going to say that I'm looking better than him, which is true.
'It's hard to listen to that sort of criticism and negativity from people who play with you, for example Gary Neville as well.
'People can have their own opinion but they don't know what is going inside the training ground at Carrington - or even my life.
'They shouldn't listen to one point of view - they should listen to my point of view as well, because it's easy to criticise [when] you don't know the whole story,' he went on to say.
'They are not my friends, they are colleagues. We play together, they're not coming, we're not ever having dinner together.'
Ronaldo made his feelings about Neville clear when he snubbed the Sky Sports pundit ahead of United's Premier League clash with West Ham last month.
Ronaldo decided to ignore Neville after his former team-mate criticised him for storming down the tunnel during United's win over Tottenham.
Neville said United would be 'better without' Ronaldo and that the Premier League giants should 'end their relationship' with him.
The 37-year-old went over to see his former team-mate Louis Saha - who was working on the panel for Sky Sports - ahead of United's game with West Ham.
Ronaldo embraced Saha before saying a quick hello to Jamie Redknapp. However, he bypassed Neville without saying a word.
After being blanked by the Portugal international, Neville said: 'We're off the Christmas card list aren't we?' .
