Tevez blasts disrespectful Neville

Carlos Tevez has taken exception to comments by Gary Neville, accusing his former Manchester United team-mate of showing him “disrespect”. The Argentinean comments come after Neville told the press that United were right not to pay £25m for Tevez. "It is wrong for one professional to criticise another in the way he did when he did not know the full facts,” Tevez told The Sun newspaper. Tevez scored both goals in Manchester City’s 2-1 win over United in the Carling Cup on Tuesday. Neville, responded to Tevez’s goal celebration with an obscene one-fingered gesture, "I was not trying to be offensive to him when I celebrated, I was just trying to make a point to him. I felt in my two years at Old Trafford I earned the respect of the management and players for what I achieved. I won five trophies and was the club's second top scorer.”
