Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher is no stranger to a Twitter wind-up, but it usually involves his Sky colleague and ex-arch rival Gary Neville.

This time, though, the retired centre-back took aim at Gary’s brother Phil Neville and the 39-year-old’s failed spell as David Moyes’s assistant coach at Manchester United.

If you cast your minds back to 2013, you will remember that Moyes was named as Sir Alex Ferguson’s successor, and you will also remember that his spell in charge lasted less than a season.

The same is said for Neville, who returned to Old Trafford with Moyes in a coaching capacity.

Carragher decided to poke fun at the pair’s failed term, but first he tried to goad Neville by suggesting that Jose Mourinho will not last long as United manager, and that they should have gone for Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino instead.

It all began when Neville tweeted praise for Spurs’ manager following the team’s 2-0 win over Chelsea on Wednesday night.
