Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler has denied accusations of being a Manchester United fan - revealing his love for Woking in the process.

Tyler's c ommentary of Liverpool's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in January 2017 sent many Reds fans to social media to complain about a perceived bias from the legendary Sky announcer.

The complaint was aired once more as Liverpool routed Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium last month, with scores of Reds followers panning Tyler's apparent lack of enthusiam.

Once more Tyler's commentary came under scrutiny from a smattering of supporters after Virgil van Dijk headed in a late goal in last Friday's Merseyside derby victory over Everton in the FA Cup.

Tyler though has rejected the notion he is a secret United fan in a wide-ranging interview with The Mirror .

"This thing where you have to have a Premier League team is garbage," said Tyler. "It’s the accident of birth.

"It’s the one thing that irks me when people say you must have a Premier League team, I absolutely, categorically don’t.

"How can I be a Man United fan when I’ve got excited about Aguero (winning the league for Manchester City). All I do is react to the game.

"It’s a great bonus to not have a Premier League team. I’m probably the only commentator to not have a Premier League club."

Rather than holding a secret love of United, the long-serving Sky commentator revealed he follows National League side Woking.

He added: "I don’t do social media and this is one of the reasons why.

"They all think I support somebody. I support Woking and I am quite happy to say that.

"I first went to Woking when I was eight years old and it was the first football I had ever seen, I’m still in touch with the club although I coach at a level just below them so it’s difficult to see them too much now.

"They’ve always been my team."
