Manchester United legend Gary Neville has criticised West Ham United youngster Declan Rice and the agent of Aston Villa star Jack Grealish on social networking site Twitter.

The former England international defender, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, has given his take on the international future of West Ham teenager Rice, who can operate as a central defender or as a defensive midfielder.

The 19-year-old has made three appearances for the Republic of Ireland national football team, but all of them were in friendly matches.

Rice can still switch allegiance to England, and the West Ham youngster has yet to decide whether he will represent the Three Lions or the Republic of Ireland going forward.

United legend Neville has criticised Rice on Twitter for his indecisiveness, and the former England international defender has also taken a swipe at Grealish’s agent.

The 22-year-old Villa star, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, represent the Republic of Ireland at the Under-17, Under-18 and Under-21 levels before playing for the England Under-21 side.
