Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has poked fun at Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst while the striker faces backlash for touching the 'This is Anfield' sign before the two teams met last Sunday.
The sign hangs proudly in the Anfield tunnel and is often affectionately touched by Reds players before they make their way out onto the pitch. It is not commonplace for opposition players to do so, certainly not United players given the fierce rivalry between the two teams.
With that in mind, Weghorst has attempted to quell the storm by releasing a short statement addressing the controversy, which has been uploaded to his social media profile. It reads: "Normally I never react on media topics, but for this one, it's worth it because you amazing United fans are important to me. So I just want to clarify the video that is doing the rounds.
