Gary Neville brilliantly hijacked MUTV's live build-up to the Leicester City game on Sunday afternoon by mocking former teammate Ben Thornley.
Thornley was part of the Class of '92 that won the FA Youth Cup, playing alongside Neville and the likes of Paul Scholes and David Beckham. The former winger was part of United's in-house coverage ahead of a crucial Premier League clash at home to the Foxes in which the Reds could close the gap on Manchester City.
Erik ten Hag had opted to leave Raphael Varane on the bench for the game in a suggestion that he may have one eye on Thursday's Europa League second-leg clash with Barcelona. And Thornley was asked on MUTV whether that was the right thing to be doing.

"Forget the Barcelona game," he said. "Forget Sunday, this is equally as important because of the way that teams around us."
It was at that point Neville, at Old Trafford working for Sky Sports, shouted from behind the cameras: "You’re not the manager, you don’t have to give a standard answer!"
Thornley and host Stewart Gardner paused in shock at being heckled by the former Reds captain before breaking into laughter.
“Sorry about that,” Neville then said while popping his head into the camera shot before mocking Thornley by imitating him. “The next game is the most important one. We've got to concentrate on the next one, forget about Barcelona.”
His former teammate Thornley seemed to take the joke well, laughing as he said: "I can't wait to get my own back."
