"No Right!" Ryan Giggs' brother condemns Gary Neville as unworthy of judging Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim's team management.
On 22 Dec 2025 GMT+7, Rodri Giggs, brother of Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs, openly criticized Gary Neville after Neville served as commentator for the match in which the "Red Devils" lost 1-2 away to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.
In the match, Aston Villa scored two goals by Morgan Rogers, who netted before and after halftime, while Manchester United scored a consolation goal through Mateus Cunha, his third Premier League goal this season. This result marked Unai Emery's team's 10th consecutive win.
Although Manchester United's performance and result were not disastrous and the team remained competitive until late in the game, the post-match commentary was largely negative, especially Gary Neville's criticism targeting several moments and focusing on decisions made by manager Ruben Amorim.
The former Manchester United defender has frequently expressed dissatisfaction with the club's condition, but not everyone agrees. This time, Giggs' brother made a clear statement: "Just stick to commentating. I don't understand how Neville can give coaching advice. You're terrible at it. Just commentate, you annoying guy."
"His first comment was, 'I wouldn't play Martinez in midfield,' but halfway through the second half he said Martinez was the best player on the field. If he really knew football, he'd know Martinez has played that position before with Ajax and the Argentina national team."
These remarks divided Manchester United fans. Some agreed with Rodri, while others quickly pointed out that Amorim's current winning percentage at Manchester United is even worse than Neville's during his tenure managing Valencia.
Neville previously had a notably unsuccessful managerial stint at Valencia, overseeing 28 matches with 10 wins, 7 draws, and 11 losses—a 35.7% win rate—before being dismissed after only four months.
