Gary Neville has taken a cheeky dig at a Leeds United supporter, who criticised his commentary on social media website Twitter.

Neville announced he would be commentating on the League Cup final, which did not go down well with everyone.

One Leeds fan took it upon himself to tweet Neville, suggesting that everyone would ‘rather he stayed at home’.

But Neville had a quick-witted response to the Twitter critic, as he poked fun at Leeds’ failure to get back to the Premier League.

Leeds have not played in the top flight since way back in 2004, and the Whites are still struggling to get back to the Premier League.

Despite having one of the most loyal fan-bases in England, Leeds have found getting out of the Championship very difficult.

The Whites look likely to be waiting at least another year for their Premier League return, as their promotion chances are very slim this term.

Leeds are currently in 11th place in the Championship table, and sit five points behind the play off spots.
