Crosby calls for Warnock apology

Warnock made his comments in the wake of Boro's 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday where they fielded a weakened side.

"What he said was absolute garbage," said Crosby. "We had no intention of putting a team out that would lose.

"He should be apologising to (manager) Gareth Southgate for those comments."

With both the Blades and Man City just above the relegation zone, Warnock was incensed that Boro saved defender Jonathan Woodgate and striker Mark Viduka for the FA Cup quarter-final replay with Man Utd two days later.

But Crosby added: "Neil's got a Sheffield United team to pick. He doesn't want to be trying to pick ours as well.

"There is no reason why we would put a team out to try and relegate Sheffield United."
