Neville brands Xhaka 'a disgrace' for furious Arsenal interview | OneFootball

Former England defender Gary Neville has attacked Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka after his post-match interview following defeat at Newcastle.

Xhaka blasted his teammates in two separate interviews in the aftermath. He accused his team-mates of not following manager Mikel Arteta's orders and wilting under the pressure of another intense home crowd.

Neville was left almost speechless by Xhaka's bluntness.

“I don't know what to make of that," he said. “I think I heard him say, 'stay at home if you haven't got the balls'. So he's obviously having a go at people in his dressing room."

He added: “I don't know who he's having a go at, I hope he wasn't having a go at the younger players…him?

“I tell you what he's been a disgrace at times over the last four or five years, getting sent off recklessly. He's left it up in the air there, that was nothing there."
