Matic made a £40million move to the Red Devils back in July, but Gary doesn’t believe for one second Conte was happy about it.
Matic kicked off his United debut with a commanding man of the match display in the 4-0 win over West Ham.
However, questions still remain over why the Blues would allow such a key player to leave the club, especially to a Premier League rival.
And in response to a story which claims Conte didn’t want Matic, Neville tweeted: “Bull****”.
In a follow up tweet Neville added: “He [Conte] told me last Wednesday it was a great loss.”
Bullshit that… https://t.co/7GM6QwywVb

At the launch of the Premier League season, Conte was asked about the Serbian midfielder and said: “Matic knows very well what I think about him.
“The importance for me about this player, who is a really good player, a top player, very important for our team, but sometimes you must accept this crazy transfer market.
“And sometimes you must accept different decisions.
“But he is a great loss for us.”
