Gary Neville and Graeme Souness were involved in a heated exchange following Manchester United's humbling 7-0 defeat at Liverpool.
The Red Devils were battered on Merseyside as Jurgen Klopp's side ran riot thanks a brace each from Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah, with Roberto Firmino adding the other.
It was a sensational performance from the Reds, but questions will no doubt be asked about United's display. Erik ten Hag cut a frustrated figure in his post-match interview, while Neville and Roy Keane were seething after the game on punditry duties for Sky Sports.

He added that Neville said off-air that Liverpool didn't even play well - something that caused a heated debate between the pair.
Here is the full exchange between Souness and Neville, with Carragher also getting a word in.

Souness: "Can I just pull it back, Gary put it on me at the start of the show, if I would repeat on the air that I think Liverpool will win well today, comfortably. Gary said off the air that he thought Liverpool played badly today."
Neville: "I didn’t say that."
Souness: "What did you say?"
Neville: "I said first half I think Manchester United were the better team. In the second half it was just about Manchester United’s capitulation."
Souness: "So that would be nothing to do with Liverpool playing well?"
Carragher: "You said you didn’t think Liverpool played well."

Neville "I don’t think Jurgen Klopp, he’ll analyse that game tomorrow and the momentum he’ll take from that, he won’t think oh, we’re back. He won’t fall into that trap. They won’t get carried away off the back of that, Liverpool, at all."
Souness: "We’re not talking about getting carried away, we’re talking about them playing well today."

Mohamed Salah of LiverpoolNeville: "Look at you gloating like little children."
Souness: "No, because you just can’t come out with a daft remark saying Liverpool didn’t play well today."
Neville: "My point is I’ve seen Liverpool play well for five or six years and they’ve put in some of the best performances I’ve ever seen. They’re still not back anywhere near that."
Carragher: "So did Liverpool play well today?"
Neville: "They played alright in the second half, they won the game no problem. I’ve said congratulations, well done. Congratulations. My point is, when you get beat seven nil, it becomes about how bad the other team are. Manchester United in that second half - Luke Shaw, Varane, Martinez, Dalot, that midfield, they were an absolute shambles."
