Jamie Carragher has brutally mocked Rio Ferdinand by telling him not to be Cristiano Ronaldo 's "fan boy" during an ugly Twitter spat.
Manchester United megastar Ronaldo was left on the bench for the fifth successive Premier League match as his side were hammered 6-3 by bitter rivals City in a one-sided derby clash at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. In reaction to the drubbing, ex-Red Devils defender Ferdinand hit out at United manager Erik ten Hag for not playing the five-time Ballon d'Or winner on such a big occasion.
Liverpool legend Carragher, on the other hand, agreed with Ten Hag's decision to start Marcus Rashford instead, issuing his verdict via the social media platform on Monday morning. "The idea that ETH got it wrong yesterday by not playing Ronaldo is laughable," the Anfield icon wrote. "Ronaldo played at Brentford when it was 4-0 at ht!! It's not a dig at CR, but Rashford’s pace on the counter attack as we saw v Arsenal /Liverpool was 100 per cent the best option."
