Gary Neville ‘busted’ on Monday Night Football as fans spot Man Utd legend’s cheeky move midway through show
GARY NEVILLE was forced to admit he had changed outfit midway through Monday Night Football in a hilarious moment with Sky Sports colleague Jamie Carragher.
The Manchester United legend, 49, kicked off the evening’s coverage wearing a what top with a black shirt-jacket – or “shacket” – over the top.
By the time Leicester and Tottenham had played out a draw and the broadcast moved on to the pundits’ Premier League predictions for the season, Neville had changed into a black jumper.
And Carragher was not going to let that slide after they cut back from a clip from earlier in the show.
The Liverpool icon said: “He’s the first man in Monday Night Football history to change his attire halfway through the show.”
Neville gave a wry smile as he squirmed at Carragher’s comment.
Presenter Dave Jones attempted to support Neville by insisting he simply wanted a “more casual approach”.
But Carragher continued: “What is it with the shacket? What’s the thing there?”
A reluctant Neville then explained: “I had a shacket on and my microphone kept pulling… it was doing my head in.”
Jones then said it was a “professional decision”, before Neville added: “It was, it was.”

And the Man Utd man was not going to let Carragher get away without a dig back as Neville pointed at his jumper and said: “You’ve been sweating all night.”
To which Carragher brilliantly replied: “I know.”
Reacting to the clip, one fan responded: “Busted.”
While another said: “@Carra23 is that friend that winds us all up .”
A third added: “The pundits equivalent of changing out of the grey shirts at half time.”
And a fourth replied: “Can’t lie. The vibes have been top notch all weekend for a change.”
