No trophies in your career without AF (Sir Alex Ferguson) and when you stopped winning PL at MU you tried to move to Chelsea so please stop giving it the big MU fan one,” Carragher replied.In a separate instance relating to Ronaldo, the former Liverpool man wrote: “Rio I know how it works, he's your mate and you/[Patrice] Evra and the rest are on the group WhatsApp and he asks you to come out and defend him, don't be his fan boy you're Rio Ferdinand for FFS!”Certainly, the pair’s strong links to the North-West rivals have helped fuel this war of words, which could develop further after Sunday’s game at Old Trafford.Both teams are seeking a win to secure Champions League qualification.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCManchester United FCPremier LeagueJamie CarragherRio Ferdinand
