Gary Neville branded a 'colossal tit' in 'best' social media post that leaves ex-Man Utd team-mate Paul Scholes laughing his head off

Neville is prone to receiving negative comments on social media - as a football pundit, it comes with the territory - but even he had to laugh at a social media post that he labelled "quite simply the best tweet I've ever received".

The post in question highlighted the types of tit variety of birds found in Britain. There's the bearded tit, the blue tit, the crested tit... and the colossal tit, with a picture of Neville's face next to that one.

Neville's former Manchester United team-mate Paul Scholes enjoyed the post - he reacted by commenting with three crying-with-laughter emojis. Jamie Carragher an ex-Newcastle United goalkeeper Shay Given were similarly tickled, both adding the same reaction as Scholes in the comments section.

Neville will have a lot to say about the Red Devils in the coming weeks following Ruben Amorim's recent appointment. The former United right-back looked delighted when hearing Amorim describe the club as "my place".

Amorim will meet the Old Trafford faithful for the first time on Thursday when United host Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League. As for Neville, he is likely to be on co-commentary duty for Sky Sports as Liverpool host Manchester City in the big game of the weekend.
