Following the defeat at Old Trafford, attention has quickly shifted from what happened during the game to what’s been said online, with familiar voices once again at the centre of it.

Carragher responds as rivalry spills onto social media

As reported by BBC Sport, tensions between Carragher and Rio Ferdinand resurfaced after the former United defender posted an old image of himself celebrating against us back in 2004.

The picture, which showed Ferdinand celebrating while the Liverpool legend stood dejected in the background, was captioned simply with “caption this”, but it didn’t take long for a response to arrive.

Carragher hit back sharply, writing: “Not like you to make sure you were in the picture of someone else’s goal.”

He then went a step further with a more personal dig, adding: “You now carry on this ritual by hanging around mixed zones bothering star players & asking your lackeys to film it!”
