Jamie Carragher produced a hilarious tweet to Gary Neville on Wednesday night, following Manchester United’s defeat to Manchester City.
Liverpool’s arch-rivals were dumped out of the Carabao Cup at the semi-final stage, losing 2-0 at home to their local adversaries.
Much has been made of United being ‘joint top’ of the Premier League currently, even though they are clearly second on goal difference.
Neville himself has claimed as much on Twitter, giving Carragher the perfect ammunition on Wednesday.
After the United loss, the Liverpool legend took to the social media platform to post a photo of a happy Neville, with the caption: ‘Joint semi finalists!’
