Jose Mourinho had his pre-match interview with Geoff Shreeves interrupted by Gary Neville's reaction to David de Gea's howler for Manchester United against Watford .
United keeper De Gea dropped a clanger to gift Ismaila Sarr an opener at Vicarage Road as the Red Devils ended a six game unbeaten run with a 2-0 defeat.
The Spaniard allowed a scuffed shot through his hands and into the net for one of the worst mistakes in the Premier League this season.
And it was clear Neville was shocked by the mistake, albeit in an awkward position.
The United legend was just behind Shreeves and Mourinho in an interview room at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, ahead of Spurs' clash with Chelsea , with the match on a TV.
He turned with his mouth wide open in a stunned silence, but it caught the two interview participant's attention.
Intrepid interview Shreeves asked Mourinho: "Now you are an experienced pundit in the television studio, can I have your opinion on the unprofessional nature of Gary Neville.
"Me and you are doing a professional interview and he falls to the floor in disgust.
"What does that tell you about his lack of standards?"
Mourinho answered: "I think it show Gary can't hide his United connections.
"He is a very good pundit."
Shreeves attempted to bait a more scathing assessment of the ex-defender by saying: "Very unprofessional in this room."
Only for Mourinho to interject: "No, he is a top boy."
Neville then stuck his hands to his head, paced around the incredulously - before repeating the move when he saw the replay.
United went on to concede again through a Troy Deeney penalty - but it is unknown how Neville reacted to Aaron Wan-Bissaka's reckless tackle to give away the spot kick.
