Jamie Carragher couldn't help but poke fun at Manchester United after Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur
Jamie Carragher has poked fun at Gary Neville's early season prediction that Manchester United would finish above Liverpool - following the Red Devils' 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
In their first Premier League outing at Old Trafford since the 3-0 defeat to Arne Slot's side earlier this month, United endured another humiliating afternoon as goals from Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solake sealed a historic win for Spurs to mount the pressure on Erik ten Hag.
Neville, on co-commentary duty for Sky Sports, pulled no punches when assessing United, labelling their third defeat of the Premier League season as "disgraceful". And Carragher couldn't help but bask in the downfall of United with a cheeky social media post immediately after the game.
Taking to X, Liverpool legend Carragher retweeted a Sky Sports graphic from the start of the season where Neville had predicted that United would finish above Liverpool.

On the first Monday Night Show of the season, the former United and England full-back predicted Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea to finish in the top four, insisting Liverpool would suffer a slump in form as a result of Jurgen Klopp's departure. Carragher, meanwhile, had the Reds down to finish third, behind Manchester City and Arsenal.
It's fair to say that Neville's prediction hasn't aged well, with Liverpool's 2-1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday night moving them to the top of the Premier League, eight points ahead of United after just six games.
