Jamie Carragher trolls Gary Neville with joke about whether he should become next Manchester United manager

Like his tackles, Carragher's joke was timed to perfection

It appears Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville's "rivalry" has not ended.

The pair clashed on the pitch for Liverpool and Manchester United, but would eventually get along well while both working as pundits on Sky Sports Monday Night Football.

During Sky Sports broadcast of Liverpool vs Manchester United today, when pundits Carragher, Peter Schmeichel and Graeme Souness were discussing who should be the next Manchester United manager, Schmeichel said: "It could be someone that used to sit in this chair," meaning current Valencia manager Neville.

Carragher then jokingly chipped in with:" Not the way he is going!"

Neville's failure to win a La Liga game since taking charge at Valencia extended to a sixth game today after his side drew 2-2 with Rayo Vallecano.

The former Manchester United defender's team needed an 88th minute equaliser from Paco Alcacer to claim a point at the Mestalla.

The away side took the lead through Sanchez Ruiz Jozabed before Alvaro Negredo equalised for Valencia 10 minutes after half-time. Diego Llorente then put Rayo Vallecano back in the lead before substitute Zakaria Bakkali laid on a pass for Alcacer to tap in at the back post.

The result will have been a disappointment for Neville, with Rayo Vallecano just one point off the bottom of La Liga table prior to the match. However it was at least enough to put his side back in the top half of the table, moving above Malaga into tenth.

Neville has now overseen four draws and two defeats in the league since being named as the Spanish club's new manager.
