Fergie: Neville is being victimised

ALEX FERGUSON’s antipathy for the FA has erupted again with the claim Gary Neville is being victimised because he is a Manchester United player.

Ferguson is furious that Neville has been put in the dock for his wild celebrations at Rio Ferdinand’s late winner against Liverpool at Old Trafford last Sunday.

Ferguson is adamant his captain has been condemned to trial by media and then been singled out purely because of the club he plays for.

And, to provide evidence for his claims, Ferguson cited the examples of Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher during the Merseyside derby on December 28, and Robbie Fowler’s reminder to United fans of Liverpool’s five European Cup wins at Eastlands earlier this month.
