Neville hits out at 'untrue' media reports

Valencia coach Gary Neville has hit out at "untrue" claims he had criticised his players in the dressing room after a game.

The Manchester United legend quoted a story from a Spanish media outlet which stated he had claimed some players were "not fit" to wear the Valencia shirt.

"This is wrong," he said.

"There is a line that is crossed. You can comment on the performance, you can say what you like, but I have to correct this position because it's very dangerous to think that this is correct. It is absolutely not correct.

"I don't mind whatever is said about me, but if I am misquoted through rumour and speculation, it is dangerous.

"Those players are fit to wear this shirt. They have fantastic talent. There are a lot of young players and they don't need to be reading things like this when it is not true."

Neville is still without a win in La Liga after taking over at the Mestalla in December.
