Rio Ferdinand has taunted Jamie Carragher for 'spitting his dummy out' after an unprompted social media attack on the former Manchester United defender. The exchange occurred ahead of United's victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford.
The Online Exchange
Ferdinand shared a throwback image of himself celebrating a goal against Liverpool, captioning it 'Caption this...' Carragher responded with a mocking comment, referencing Ferdinand's tendency to insert himself into others' moments and his post-match interviews with players.
Ferdinand's Response
After United's 3-2 win, Ferdinand addressed Carragher's comments on his YouTube channel, saying: 'I thought it was really harsh... He spat his dummy out... he was spitting feathers.' He also reminded Carragher of their England days, jokingly claiming Carragher carried his boots.
History of Rivalry
The pair have a history of light-hearted rivalry, disagreeing on football topics. Carragher once called Ferdinand a 'clown' over punditry, while Ferdinand accused Carragher of hypocrisy for not criticizing Steven Gerrard's move to Saudi Arabia.
