Neville and ex-United midfielder Roy Keane were involved in a heated debate over the Portuguese during Sky Sports' coverage of the team's 1-1 draw against Chelsea last weekend, with the former England right-back saying that Erik ten Hag's side were better without Ronaldo.
Those comments look to have got back to Cristiano, who effusively greeted former United team-mate Louis Saha and ex-Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp pitchside during Sky Sports' build-up at Old Trafford on Sunday but did not acknowledge Neville.

Ronaldo recently snubbed Jamie Carragher in a similar way during Sky's coverage after receiving some similar criticism from the former Liverpool defender.
"Welcome to the, blanked by Ronaldo club @gnev," Carragher tweeted on Sunday.
