Jamie Carragher’s Cristiano Ronaldo comment leaves Man Utd icon Gary Neville looking sheepish live on Stick to Football
JAMIE CARRAGHER’S latest comment about Cristiano Ronaldo had Gary Neville looking sheepish live on Stick to Football.
The former Liverpool defender was previously snubbed by the five-time Ballon d’Or winner after criticising his performances.
However, he could not resist poking fun at their previous interaction at the expense of his ex-Manchester United team-mate.
Carragher was speaking on Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet, alongside Neville, Jill Scott, Roy Keane and Ian Wright.
Discussing the best players from Premier League-winning teams, attention turned to United’s 2007/08 side.
Under Sir Alex Ferguson, the Red Devils won both the league title and the Champions League that season.
Both Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo were put forward from that squad, which was captained by Neville.
During the debate, Carragher said: “Friend of the show isn’t he, Wayne.”
Wright then replied: “They’re all friends of the show ‘Stick to United’ we’re doing.”
This prompted Carragher to quip: “I don’t think Ronaldo is. He’s pied two of us.”

Neville was left looking sheepish as he peered down at the table in response to his co-hosts remark.
Ronaldo snubbed Carragher before Liverpool’s clash with United at Old Trafford in August 2022.
The Sky Sports pundit had been critical of the veteran forward since his return to the Red Devils the previous summer.
As a result, Ronaldo ignored Carragher’s attempt at a handshake before embracing Neville and Keane on the touchline.
Just two months later, though, Neville received the cold shoulder ahead of a match against West Ham live on Sky Sports.
He had ripped into his ex-team-mate’s strop during the previous match against Tottenham before they crossed paths prior to kick-off.
There was no embrace for Neville, however, despite Ronaldo speaking to fellow former United hero Louis Saha.
Carragher reacted to the snub by writing on social media: “Welcome to the blanked by Ronaldo club @GNev2.”
Meanwhile, Neville joked on air: “We’re off the Christmas card list.”
Ronaldo made 138 appearances alongside Neville for United, with the pair winning nine trophies including three league titles and the Champions League.
