Jamie Carragher has responded to claims he was snubbed by Cristiano Ronaldo for ‘getting it right from day one’.
The Manchester United striker was benched for his side’s 2-1 win against the Reds on Monday night amid claims he wants to leave the club. Carragher – along with fellow pundits Gary Neville and Roy Keane – have been vocal in their criticism of the 37-year-old since he returned to Old Trafford last summer.
Ronaldo made a surprise appearance live on Sky Sports’ coverage of the clash, greeting former teammates Neville and Keane while blanking Carragher – much to the enjoyment of the two former Red Devils and social media. But the former Liverpool defender has hit back, explaining how he was ‘getting it right on Ronaldo from day one’ and that Erik Ten Hag’s decision to drop the Portugal striker proves him right.
