An effigy of Gary Neville has been burned in Valencia as the Manchester United legend continues to struggle in his first managerial role.

The England coach has failed to turn the La Liga club's fortunes around since arriving at the Mestalla, with Valencia currently sitting 14th in the league standings.

Neville has also overseen their exit from the Europa League, and they sit just six points above the relegation zone with eight matches left this term.

He is widely expected to leave when his short-term deal runs out at the end of the season.

A giant head of Spanish president Mariano Rajoy was burnt, as was a huge Pope Francis.

Neville wasn't the only Valencia official to feel the heat, with effigies owner Peter Lim, chairwoman Layhoon Chan and ex-boss Nuno being burnt, report Spanish publication AS.

A third consecutive home La Liga defeat against Celta Vigo on Saturday led to chants of 'donkey' and 'Gary go now' from fans inside the stadium.
