Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester United icon, David Beckham has reacted to Nottingham Forest\u2019s decision to ban Gary Neville\u2019s ban from their stadium for their final league game against Chelsea on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Beckham said his former Manchester United teammate\u2019s ban from commentary duty at the City Ground was linked to the Red Devils\u2019 win over Forest in 1999.<\/p>\n

Nottingham banned the Red Devils legend, who is now a pundit and commentator, from entering the City Ground as the co-commentator for Sky Sports on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Reacting on Instagram, his former teammate, Beckham said via The Sun UK, \u201cMust of been something to do with that 7-1 game back in the day\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in February 1999, the Red Devils beat Nottingham Forest 7-1, with both Beckham and Neville featuring in that game.<\/p>\n

Hence, Beckham\u2019s cheeky dig at Forest\u2019s decision to ban his former teammate from commentary duties.<\/p>\n

However, Neville\u2019s ban cannot be unconnected to his criticism of Forest\u2019s owner in their 2-2 draw against Leicester City on May 11.<\/p>\n

Neville has, however, said he has no choice than to stay away from the City Ground on Sunday.<\/p>\n
