MOTD legend urges Gary Neville to become Man Utd manager as he’s ‘best man for the job’ leaving Carragher in hysterics

The first-ever MOTD host wrote: "Neville has Manchester United blood running through his veins and is deeply hurt by the club’s present predicament.

"He has a powerful personality and would be a strong presence in the dressing room. Neville has remained the best candidate, in my mind."

As expected, Carragher couldn’t wait to ridicule the suggestion.

The Liverpool legend, who works as a pundit alongside Neville, replied with a series of laughing emojis: "😂😂😂😂😂".

And fans have also poked fun at the idea on social media.

One said: "This might be one of the worst takes I've ever heard."

While another joked: "After all these years, Des Lynam has finally come out as a Man City fan."

A third asked: "Des is surely trolling us 🤣🤣🤣."

Lynam first floated the idea in 2020 when the Red Devils were managed by club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

But the former commentator appears to be unfazed by Neville's disastrous spell at Valencia - his only senior management role to date.

Neville accepted an offer to coach the LaLiga outfit from owner and close business pal Peter Lim.

But the former Old Trafford right-back won just three of his 16 league games before he was brutally sacked after four months.

Meanwhile Neville is unlikely to take the reins away from Ruben Amorim at his former club.

He has influenced things in other ways after joining Jim Ratcliffe's Task Force discussing the future of Old Trafford.

Neville also regularly criticises United's misfortunes on Sky Sports as Amorim's side sit 13th in the Prem.
