Jamie Carragher in stitches over Liverpool and Man United joke on Sky Sports, Dave Jones has to clarify
Liverpool supporters will be loving Manchester United’s struggles right now.
While Liverpool won the Premier League last season, the Red Devils finished in 15th place, after a miserable campaign.
Ruben Amorim‘s side lost the Europa League final to Tottenham, which left Liverpool fans delighted, and United’s misery has carried on this season, as the Sofascore graphic below shows.
Former Liverpool man Caoimhin Kelleher saved a penalty in Brentford’s 3-1 win over United, which meant that they sit 14th in the table.
Jamie Carragher cannot resist laughing at Manchester United
Amorim was understood to be in the running for the Liverpool job, before Arne Slot was appointed, and Reds fans will be glad he did not get the role.
In a segment discussing Amorim’s future at Old Trafford, a Sky Sports poll revealed that 46 per cent of fans want him to be given more time.
Former Everton striker Duncan Ferguson joked that they were Reds fans, saying: “I think the 46 per cent of those are Liverpool fans”
Carragher laughed, then host Dave Jones confirmed that it was not, saying: “They’re not. They’re verified Man United fans.”
Liverpool fans will love Manchester United’s slump
United’s slump does not look like going away anytime soon, which will delight the Anfield faithful.
The dominance that they had under Sir Alex Ferguson ruined many childhoods, and finally, it is the Reds’ turn to take revenge.
- United have not won the title since the 2012-13 campaign
- Amorim has presided over 49 games, winning 19, drawing 9 and losing 21
- The Portuguese boss may be sacked soon
The ultimate revenge would be if Slot’s side could win the title this season, and go above United for the most titles won in English football history, as both sides are currently locked on 20 titles.
Alex Ferguson spoke of knocking the Reds off their perch, and while he may have achieved it when he was in the dugout, it is safe to say that the L4 outfit are back there now, with his former side nowhere near.
Meanwhile, United are worse than the Reds have ever been in the modern era, and there is no sign of a revival coming around the corner, especially for as long as Amorim is in charge.
