ROY KEANE and Jamie Carragher were involved in a fierce post-match verbal bust-up after Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Manchester United at Anfield.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side huffed and puffed in the second-half, but ultimately succumbed to Jurgen Klopp’s side like everybody else has this year in the second half.

Questions have been asked of the Norwegian’s credentials for the Old Trafford hot-seat all season and his future was again a key topic for discussion after the match.

When the subject was raised on Sky Sports’ coverage after the match, Keane and Carragher were involved in a verbal royal rumble.

Patrice Evra and Graham Souness also featured in the coverage, but it was the Keane and Carragher that took control of the debate, as host David Jones could only watch on.

Keane asked Carragher: “What about the previous managers over the last few years, are you saying they’re all bad managers?”

To which Carragher hit back: “At Manchester United? Do you think they’ve done good jobs? You slaughtered Mourinho when he was in the job.”

Keane responded: “But he needed more time.”

Carra’s voice then dropped an octave or two as he incredulously replied: “He needed more time? You’d have given Mourinho more time? On the back of the performance here [Anfield] last year?”

“Absolutely, that’s the name of the game. We question Ole he’s not up to it, look at his CV. Yet for some reasons other managers go to clubs and they’re given the benefit of the doubt,” Keane responded.

Carragher then pointed out: “Probably the CV gives them the benefit of the doubt.”

The 48-year-old Irishman then brought the Chelsea boss into the debate: “Frank Lampard at Chelsea, I saw Chelsea last night.”

The 41-year-old ex Liverpool defender butted in: “He’s been in the job six months.”

After which Keane finished his point: “And I’d say the same, give him time. Give Ole a bit of time. How long has Ole been in the job?”

The duo then bickered over how long Ole has been in charge, before Jones eventually cut in to remind them that Mourinho’s last game had been at Anfield last season, as Carragher couldn’t conceal a smirk.

Keane kept trying to argue his point: “Give the man a chance. I watched Chelsea last night. Chelsea, decent team, they couldn’t get the job done.

“Frank Lampard’s lost eight games, but for some reason, Frank’s doing alright – maybe because he’s English? I don’t know.”

After Keane continued to ramble on, a frustrated Carragher cut him off to frustratedly ask his counterpart: “Tell me what the problem is at Manchester United.”

The pair then started talking over each other and continued to bicker like school-children.

Carragher then brought the debate round by asking: “How long would you give Ole?”

And Keane finally gave a straight answer, saying he’d “certainly give Ole another year.”

Solskjaer has now won 21 of his 44 league games in charge of the Red Devils – but only 11 of the last 34.

His side seem destined for another year in the Europa League, as they failed to capitalise on Chelsea’s loss at Newcastle yesterday.

To boost their top four chances, they are trying to finally get a deal for Bruno Fernandes over the line this month – but it’s taking longer than they’d like.
