Gary Neville slammed Kyle Walker after tensions threatened to boil over during the first half of the Manchester derby on Sunday.

As United chased an equaliser, Walker appeared to trip United forward Rasmus Hojlund who responded by squaring up to the England international. The pair went head-to-head before the City captain collapsed to ground appearing to have been struck. However, replays subsequently revealed that little contact had actually been made, leading Gary Neville to claim Walker would be embarrassed about his conduct upon watching the incident back.

'I did this in a derby against McManaman many years ago and got sent off for it,' Neville said. 'It's whether he's made that rock of his head forward.
