Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher draws Man Utd parallels after Gary Neville win

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has offered tongue-in-cheek congratulations to his former Sky Sports colleague Gary Neville, who secured a first La Liga win last night.

Neville’s Valencia side beat Espanyol 2-1 courtesy of Denis Cheryshev’s header.

Carragher immediately spotted parallels between under-pressure Neville’s managerial career and the former Manchester United right-back’s mentor Sir Alex Ferguson.

The long-serving United boss was reportedly close to getting the sack relatively early in his reign before a header from Mark Robins in an FA Cup third round game against Nottingham Forest secured a much needed win and helped him to turn things round.

Carragher joked the Denis Cheryshev was Spanish for Mark Robins after Neville, also reportedly on the verge of the sack, scored the winner yesterday evening.
