Neville fears ‘diver’ taunt will make him target for refs

GARY NEVILLE fears the ‘diver’ taunt, levelled at him by referee Graham Poll, has turned him into a marked man among the men in black.

In Tuesday night's 2-0 win over Charlton, the long-serving Manchester United back was yellow-carded for the second game in succession after Poll's comments, which date back to last month's Premiership tie with Arsenal at Highbury.

Poll claimed he should have cautioned Neville for diving during that game as Jeff Winter had done during the stormy FA Cup derby with Manchester City in February, which saw Neville sent off for the second time in his Old Trafford career.
