After been blamed by the press for giving a goal away in Hungary Phil Neville
sticks up for Becks after his mistake on Wednesday.

"There are no fingers pointed at all, ever,"

"We take collective responsibility all the time. There were a lot of individual
errors last season, but we all took responsibility. That's how it is at this place,
we all defend together, we all attack together. We take the glory and the bad
times together. We're not blaming anyone."

"At the start of the season we set out to eradicate results like that. We should
be beating Bolton at home if we have any aspirations of winning the title. And
we certainly shouldn't be losing.

"Things have been going well at the start of the season, we were winning
games and I thought the team were just about to hit form. That made it
(Bolton) even more disappointing."

And on the press

"Criticism is part and parcel of football and playing for United. If you don't win
you leave yourself open to criticism. We want to keep winning to avoid that. If
we lose we're front page, if we win we're back page. That's part and parcel of
playing for United."
