Gary Neville has slammed Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group in the build-up to the match against Manchester United.
The Premier League clash at Old Trafford has been dominated by protests from Man United fans outside the stadium, with several hundred making their way onto the pitch.
It has been confirmed that the game has been delayed, with the Premier League yet to announce a new kick-off time which was originally at 4.30pm.
Fans were protesting against the club’s owners, the Glazer family, in the aftermath of the European Super League debacle. Liverpool, along with Man United, originally agreed to take part in the proposed new competition, before withdrawing less than 48 hours later.
While the majority of the talk from Sky Sports pundits Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Graeme Souness and Micah Richards was aimed at Man United, Neville took a break to put some of the focus on Liverpool’s owners too.
“Let’s talk about FSG a little bit,” said Neville.
“They’ve been part of four things in the past 12 months which are desperate signs, they’re acting desperately behind the scenes.
*Where should football go next after Super League fallout? Take our quick survey.
“They [made the initial decision to furlough staff], that is very un-Liverpool-like, they’ve gone for the Project Big Picture and tried to change the 14 and six rule in English football.
“Now, along with the Glazers, they’ve tried to create a Super League. These are desperate actions from the owners of Liverpool Football Club.
“I think they’re struggling at the moment, through Covid obviously, economic issues like loads of businesses have all around the world, but they’re acting desperately.
“At this moment in time, I accept that Manchester United fans are angrier with the Glazers than Liverpool fans are.
"But the Liverpool fans need to see the danger of what FSG are doing because they are acting desperately behind the scenes.”
