Gabby Agbonlahor has doubled down on his feud with Gary Neville by claiming the former Manchester United captain ‘wasn’t very good.’
The Sky Sports pundit recently snapped back after Agbonlahor claimed Neville’s former teammate Nemanja Vidic was the most overrated defender in Premier League history.
