This was Mejbri's first appearance in the competition since he arrived from Monaco a year ago and he will be hungry for more after opening the scoring eight minutes into the game.
Though he caught the eye - it was Anthony Elanga, who completed the rout with the sixth goal, who drew some special praise from Neville.
The United legend was co-commentating on Salford's website and said the winger is a 'nightmare to play against'.
Arnau Puigmal doubled the visitors' lead on the half-hour mark before Mark Helm struck either side of a Charlie McCann strike in the second half.
Elanga made it six to finish the scoring after 74 minutes, earning him rave reviews from Neville.
He was set free by Mejbri and opened his body before bending the ball into the far corner, which drew comparisons with Arsenal great Thierry Henry from Neville.
