Gary Neville has slammed Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Matt Hancock on Twitter for suggesting Premier League footballers should take pay cuts during the coronavirus pandemic.
Hancock said top flight footballers needed to 'make a contribution, take a pay cut,' with many clubs facing financial difficulties due to matches being suspended.
However, Neville said his statement was 'a f****** cheek,' and proceeded to criticise the lack of virus testing for NHS staff.
‘Given the sacrifices that many people are making, including some of my colleagues in the NHS who have made the ultimate sacrifice getting into work and have caught the diseases and sadly died, I think the first thing Premier League footballers can do is make a contribution, take a pay cut,’ said Hancock.
