Neville was at the ground to cover the match for Sky Sports and had to make his way through a group of City fans to get to the stadium.
The Manchester United legend received a torrent of verbal abuse from the fans and had to duck as a pint was launched at his head.
The incident was caught on video by one City fan and posted to Snapchat with the caption ‘Red c***’.
Some City fans were more diplomatic and appeared to apologise on behalf of the others.
The 44-year-old quickly left the area and managed to get up some stairs before giving the fans a thumbs up when he neared the top.
