Former Manchester United and Everton midfielder Phil Neville was trolled on social media after he struggled to count to four while talking on Sky Sports.

The pundit was speaking on Sky's 'The Debate' show alongside Craig Bellamy about Ross Barkley's future.

But while making his point about Barkley, the former England international stumbled as he counted from one to four, much to the amusement of football fans across social media.

Neville was talking about Ross Barkley's future as he stumbled while counting on Thursday

Neville was heard saying: 'I think so, there was a period at Everton where the supporters got on his back, he was a local kid and look I thought he tried... I thought he was trying too hard at times.

'He so desperately wanted to, 1: score goals, 1: play well, 1: be the star and 2... 4: play for England.'

And as you'd expect, those on social media were quick to jump on his back with some brutal tweets.

One Twitter user, called @StupidPundits, wrote: 'Phil Neville using the classic 1, 1, 1, 2, 4 counting approach. Always good at maths were you, Phil.'

After his blunder, the 40-year-old received a brutal trolling all over social media

This social media thought Neville's counting was like someone performing a sound check

Many social media users were quick to troll the 40-year-old following his blunder

Another user, @eddo75, tweeted: '1-1, 1-1, 1-1 - Phil Neville doing a sound check', while @GraemeJ_83 said: 'Phil Neville making a great contribution here, added real value by using the 1, 1, 1, 2, 4 approach to listing his points.'

And the trolling didn't stop there unfortunately for Neville. @FoxyN77 wrote: 'My youngest is still in nappies but can count better than Phil Neville.'

For many users, they just couldn't stop watching the video of Neville making the blunder, with @Chlo_G saying: 'Phil Neville here, counting like a true champion. I just keep hitting replay.' 

This follower claimed that his youngest child, who is in nappies, is better at counting 

Some on social media found the video too funny that they had to keep replaying it
