Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has taken a swipe at former club captain Gary Neville after the footballer-turned-pundit criticised the team's performance against Southampton.
On Sky Sports' Monday Night Football show, Neville claimed that United "got away with murder" after sealing a 2-1 triumph over the Saints at St Mary's.
While Van Gaal conceded that his side rode their luck at times, he responded to Neville's comments by telling reporters: "He can say everything because he is an ex-legend, but as an ex-legend or legend, you have to know what you are saying.
"You can interpret that how you like. It's not difficult. When I say that, he should pay attention to his words."
On Twitter, Neville was asked by a fan if there was a feud between himself and Van Gaal after it was mentioned by the press, but the ex-footballer replied: "One that will be created that doesn't exist."
Last night's result pushed United up to third in the Premier League table.
