# Carragher aims dig at Neville about success at Man United

Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have built up a surprising friendship, having often been at loggerheads throughout their playing careers.

The pair often clashed when Liverpool and Manchester United faced each other down the years, rarely seeing eye to eye.

Since their playing days have ended, however, Carragher and Neville have forged a formidable pairing on Sky Sports.

Arguably the two best pundits in the game currently, they are always full of insight, particularly during their stints on Monday Night Football.

Their improved relationship doesn’t mean there isn’t still the odd sly dig, though, and Carragher has aimed one at Neville.

Speaking on *Sky Sports*‘ [Off Script Podcast](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11848167/off-script-gary-neville-and-jamie-carragher-open-up-on-state-of-english-game), the Liverpool legend claimed his colleague’s success was solely down to Alex Ferguson:

> I didn’t like him \[Neville\], but I thought he was a winner. Obviously a top player, very lucky to play under Sir Alex Ferguson.

> But all these [Manchester United](https://talksport.com/sport/football/team/113099/manchester-united/) people forget, they never won anything without Sir Alex Ferguson, anything, nothing with England, Valencia.

> Remember, Manchester United fell off a cliff when Sir Alex Ferguson left, how lucky were they to be with him?!

> So when we talk about what they won and what they did, anyone could have done it!

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Carragher’s comments are no doubt a little tongue-in-cheek, but Ferguson’s influence is clear to see.

He was ultimately the driving force behind United’s 20 years of success and there were players around who could arguably have done as good a job as someone like Neville at the time.
