Gary Neville has taken another swipe at Liverpool on social media, despite the fact that he is still smarting from Manchester United’s 4-0 defeat at Chelsea on Sunday.

The former full-back, who now works as a television pundit for Sky Sports, was mocked by his colleague Jamie Carragher after United’s humiliation at Stamford Bridge.

Neville posted a photo of himself on a motorcycle to Instagram, which provoked Carragher to tweet: “Man Utd get beat 4-0 & @GNev2 is taking a selfie on a bike, does it get better than this?!!”

Carragher’s tweet did not go unnoticed and Neville soon responded with a slight against his friend’s former club.

The 41-year-old posted an image of a sign at Anfield, Liverpool’s home ground, reading: “Anfield. Where greatness happens.”

Neville then captioned the picture: “Taken at Anfield Monday ‘happened’.”

When asked whether he was attempting to deflect from United’s defeat at Chelsea, he admitted: “Sort of!! I hope [Liverpool] don't win the league or that tweet could be painful!”

The image was taken on the night of United’s goalless draw at Anfied last Monday, which was analysed by both Neville and Carragher on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football.

The day after the game, Neville appeared to take swipe at Liverpool on Twitter.

The former England and Valencia coach tweeted an image of some of the club’s supporters photographing Jose Mourinho, the United manager, with the caption: “Welcome to Anfield.”

Neville later claimed that his tweet was a “dig” at Liverpool specifically, but an indictment of modern football in general.
