Man Utd news: Dressing room arguments were always worse after Liverpool defeats - Neville

GARY NEVILLE has revealed the extent of Sir Alex Ferguson’s dressing room arguments after Manchester United matches against Liverpool.

Gary Neville: Sir Alex Ferguson punished me for swearing

United head to Anfield on Saturday (12:30pm), looking to keep up their rich vein of form which has seen them drop just two points from seven Premier League games.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are seven points off the pace and Jurgen Klopp has come under scrutiny over his side’s defensive frailties.

Under Ferguson, United dominated the league in the 1990s, while Liverpool were the kings of English football in 80s.

But despite United’s unparalleled success when the Premier League was formed, Neville admits things weren’t always rosy at the Red Devils.

And he has revealed that Fergie was tetchy after a defeat and this in turn, made him turn on the players in the dressing room.

“The worst I've ever seen him consistently was at Anfield if we were losing at half-time or at the end of the game,” Neville told Sky Sports.

“He'd sit there unmoved in the dressing room at the end of the game while everyone was getting showered for 25 minutes. Just not moving.

"Once when I was a kid, just travelling, I remember him having a massive row with Schmeichel and Ince in the changing room.

“It was unbelievable, just proper going for each other.

“We always knew as well that [Liverpool] could hear everything that was being said, probably laughing on the other side of the wall."

United meanwhile, who will be without Marouane Fellaini and Paul Pogba for the trip to Merseyside, will also be hoping Romelu Lukaku emerges unscathed from Belgium's World Cup qualifier tonight (7.45pm) should he be selected to start.
