Rio Ferdinand has detailed Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘calculated’ snub of Jamie Carragher in the build-up to Liverpool’s clash against Manchester United.
Erik Ten Hag picked up his first points of the season with a 2-1 win on Monday night, courtesy of goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford. Mohamed Salah pulled one back for the Reds with nine minutes left, but the Egyptian’s header was little more than consolation after a lacklustre performance and a third straight winless game.
Red Devils boss Ten Hag made several bold selection choices following their 4-0 defeat at Brentford last weekend, with club captain Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo both benched. The Portuguese striker, rarely one to avoid the limelight, made a spontaneous appearance live on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football to greet former teammates Gary Neville and Roy Keane – but it was his snub of former Reds defender Carragher that caught the eye.
