Jamie Carragher aims savage dig at Erik ten Hag after Man Utd’s woeful West Ham loss – but Gary Neville blames Glazers
JAMIE CARRAGHER aimed a savage dig at Erik ten Hag after Manchester United fell 1-0 to West Ham last night.
The Red Devils lost at the London Stadium after Said Benrahma’s tame shot somehow squirmed through David de Gea and in.
Gary Neville tweeted immediately after the match, laying the blame on the Glazer family.
But Carragher wasn’t having any of it.
Following the 1-0 defeat, Neville, 48, tweeted: “United so poor in this game.
“ETH seeing more of the players in these situations is a positive. Allows him to sort out who he wants on the bus.
“The real disgrace are the Glazers. Are they waiting for the last game at OT to pass??? It would be typical of them.
“Weak and shirking accountability and responsibility to the end!
“Members of staff on and off the pitch are in an uncertain position waiting for new owners! Let alone recruitment and what budget their is going to be!
“This should have been done! Classless to the end!”

Just 11 minutes later, Carragher quote-tweeted Neville’s post, sarcastically writing: “Yeah the Glazers decided to play Weghorst as a 10, spend 90M on Antony & 70M on Casemiro (31) on a 5 yr deal!!”
Neville then hit back: “Come on know your subject. They told ETH (when he needed a striker with CR7 going) he couldn’t spend any money.
“They sanctioned those other two deals after Brentford 4-0 to save their backsides as they were under pressure.
“They sign the cheques and take responsibility for everything post SAF! They’re a shambles!”
Man United have been up for sale since last year, but the Glazer family are still yet to accept a bid amid fan fears that they could still stay on.
Ten Hag, 53, tasted Carabao Cup glory in February and has guided the Red Devils to the FA Cup final in his debut campaign in charge.
They sit fourth in the Premier League table, a point above Liverpool with a game in hand.
After last night’s match, Ten Hag refused to blame De Gea’s clanger – insisting that he wants the soon-to-be out of contract goalkeeper to pen a new deal at Old Trafford.
He said: “We want him to stay and we want him to extend his contract. He has the most clean sheets in the Premier League. We would not be here in this position without him.
“I believe there are no concerns. It happens. As a team, you have to deal with it, show character, be resilient, bounce back and that’s what this team will do.”
