Neville’s Man Utd Prediction Backfires as Carragher Ribs Him Immediately After Spurs Defeat
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher was quick to remind his colleague, Gary Neville, of his optimistic prediction regarding Manchester United, following their humiliating defeat to Tottenham. The match, which ended in a 3-0 loss for United, left many fans and pundits alike questioning the current state of Erik ten Hag’s team.
Manchester United, struggling both offensively and defensively, saw captain Bruno Fernandes sent off in the second half. However, the damage was already done before the red card, as Tottenham tore United’s defense apart with goals from Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, and Dejan Kulusevski. It was a night to forget for United and their fans, as goalkeeper Andre Onana was left helpless by the constant Tottenham pressure.
During the game, Carragher took to social media to retweet an earlier prediction made by Gary Neville on Sky Sports. In the clip, Neville had confidently backed Manchester United to finish in the Premier League’s top four, while suggesting Liverpool and Tottenham would miss out on Champions League football. Given the contrasting fortunes of the teams involved, Carragher couldn’t resist a cheeky jab at his fellow pundit.
Liverpool, currently sitting at the top of the Premier League table, has been in remarkable form, winning every match aside from a shock defeat at Anfield to Nottingham Forest. Tottenham, meanwhile, continues to impress under new management, while United’s dismal showing has left many questioning their chances of securing a top-four finish.
Neville, in commentary, didn’t hold back in his criticism of Manchester United’s performance, describing their first-half display as “a disgrace.” He added, “It shouldn’t be a huge shock. The team hasn’t changed much since last season when they finished eighth. Keeping the same manager without much improvement is now showing.”
Reflecting on his earlier prediction, Neville had originally predicted a 2-1 win for United on Sky Bet’s “The Overlap,” with Carragher agreeing. However, the shocking reality of United’s form has left Carragher with plenty of room for playful banter.
