The storm over Gary Neville's antics in last month's encounter between Manchester United and Liverpool is building up again ahead of the FA Cup rematch on Saturday.

Football Association officials are anxious that the England defender curbs his enthusiasm
when The Red Devils travel to Anfield, so as not to further rile the Liverpool supporters.

Neville's celebrations at Manchester United's late winner at Old Trafford incensed the visiting fans to such an extent that he was charged with misconduct.

Now, with the two fierce rivals set to meet again, and memories of Neville's behaviour still fresh in the memory, FA chiefs are attempting to take the sting out of the situation by delaying his hearing until next Tuesday.

Referee Howard Webb, meanwhile, is set to issue the right back with an unprecedented personal warning prior to kick off to ensure things do not get out of control during the game.

However, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has accused the FA compliance unit of having an anti-United agenda, a sentiment echoed by former youth team coach Eric Harrison, who helped bring Neville to prominence.

"The FA targeted him because he is a United player. It's absolutely crazy," Harrison said.

"Gary will come through the Liverpool test, no problem".

Fernando Morientes has insisted Liverpool players will not run off to taunt the travelling Manchester United fans should The Reds get the better of their arch rivals in Saturday's FA Cup clash.

The two fierce competitors face each other in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday, less than a month after United grabbed a last-gasp winner in the Premiership meeting at Old Trafford.

United's Gary Neville is facing disciplinary proceedings for
the way he celebrated Rio Ferdinand's late winner by charging up to the travelling Liverpool support.

Neville's actions have added yet more spice to the tie, if any was needed, and there will be sparks flying when the two go head-to-head on Saturday.

Spanish striker Morientes is looking forward to the occasion, but insisted the Liverpool players will not seek revenge on Neville by celebrating in a similar fashion directed at the away fans.

"I firmly believe no-one on the Liverpool team would have celebrated like Neville did," said Morientes.

"If I score on Saturday, or any of the other Liverpool players score, we won't run to the United fans. For certain we will celebrate with our own supporters.

"Every player should have the freedom of right to celebrate how they choose, but Neville's goal celebration caused a lot of controversy last time.

"But the match was very tense and there was a great deal of nerves at that moment."

Gary Neville to score the winner, that'd be awesome.

Morientes won't do a 'Neville' ? I suppose he won't do a 'Ruud' either and put the ball in the back of the net.
