Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has ignited his feud with Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand before Sunday's game between both clubs. Ferdinand left TNT Sports in May 2025 and devotes his punditry to his YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand Presents. The 47-year-old interviews football legends past and present as well as giving his opinion on the latest football news.

Carragher, who works for CBS Sports and the Telegraph, has seemingly taken umbrage to Ferdinand's comments in the past. The two pundits have previously bickered about topics such as Cristiano Ronaldo, the Saudi Pro League, the Africa Cup of Nations, and Mo Salah.

And their feud has continued on Sunday with Ferdinand posting a picture on social media platform X which showed him celebrating a United goal against the Reds - with a disappointed Carragher ahead of them.

Ferdinand accompanied the photo with a caption which said: "Caption this." Carragher has now responded to the post.

He said: "Have some of that bruv, you Scouse xxxx" probably.......Not like you to make sure you were in the picture of someone else's goal. You now carry on this ritual by hanging around mixed zones, bothering star players & asking your lackeys to film it!"

One notable incident between the pair came in 2023 when Carragher labelled Ferdinand a 'clown'. During the Champions League semi-final between Milan rivals Inter and AC.

Carragher mocked Ferdinand for claiming that a contentious penalty call was 'stonewall', despite VAR overturning it. When former Manchester City player Micah Richards asked him to name names, Carragher said: "Rio Ferdinand. I'm happy to call him a clown."

In response the the jibe, Ferdinand said: "Every time I see him it's all love man. I'm a loving guy, we hug and we shake hands and have a little laugh. I don't understand why he came in with hostility, it's a hostile energy and I don't understand it.

"He's been on our show, we see each other and it's all cool. He used to carry my boots when we were with England, he always showed me love. The thing that might have been, it was [Premier League] Hall of Fame week, that's the only thing I can think of because me and him are cool. We chat, sometimes text, I just don't get it man. I've only got good energy for him.

"He's always messaging me, that's what I'm saying, it's madness to me. He always messages me, we've been in England teams together, like i said he carries my boots. He's always shown me love.

"I don't know where that energy has come from and that's all I want him to tell me is where that energy comes from. Is it real energy or not? I need to know so when I see him I'll ask him."
