Gary Neville has been told to 'get real' over his comments about Paul Pogba - by former Manchester United team-mate Andy Cole.

After the Wolves match, United legend Gary Neville blasted: "It is treachery in football terms to take a penalty off a teammate."

But Neville's fellow 1999 treble winner Cole told Talksport : "I didn't see Marcus kick up a stink about it so Marcus was comfortable about giving him the penalty.

“We are talking about Paul missing a penalty when the goalkeeper makes a very, very good save.

“I get on well with Gary Neville, but when people start talking about treachery and all that… come on, this is a sport. Let's get real. We love football but when we start talking on those levels, he left me scratching my head a little bit.

“He didn't do it on purpose. The goalkeeper made a very good save. Yes, Marcus scored a penalty against Chelsea the week before but if Marcus was comfortable and Paul was comfortable we have to get on with it and move on.”
