sport news Jamie Carragher teases Gary Neville after Man United's defeat by Crystal Palace ... trends now
Jamie Carragher has poked fun at claims made by Gary Neville at the beginning of the season that Manchester United have better options in midfield compared to Liverpool.
It came after Erik ten Hag's side were thumped 4-0 by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, compounding the woes of what's been a dismal campaign for the Red Devils - who have won only once in their last six Premier League matches.
The result has sounded alarm bells over the Man Untied boss' future, with questions arising over his tactics after Palace tore their way right through the middle of the United midfield, with Michael Olise scoring twice before Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell followed up with goals later on.
After the match, Carragher had stuck the boot in Neville's old side, claiming that they were 'one of the most poorly coached teams in the Premier League' and slammed Casemiro, urging him to 'call it a day'.
Neville, meanwhile, had said before the start of the season that he believed Jurgen Klopp would swap Liverpool's midfield options for Ten Hag's.

Speaking on the Overlap, he said: 'When you look at the actual players, let's take United as an example; Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen. I think that Jurgen Klopp would swap his midfield now for United’s.'
Carragher was quick to remind Neville of his comments, re-posting footage of the ex-United defender making the bold statement on X (formerly Twitter).
His comments had come at the start of the season, where Klopp was looking to re-build his midfield following the departures of Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, James Milner and Fabinho.
Liverpool went on to sign Dominik Szoboszlai,
