Speaking on the latest Sky Sports edition of The Overlap series, Carragher used his own front side as a reference for the size of the task at the hands of Ten Hag. “Listen, we talk a lot off the field at United,” he said.
“You still have to remember that the coach is the most important person to me, all the things you’re talking about off the pitch, that’s exactly what was said about Liverpool before Jurgen Klopp came on.
“On the transfer committee, Brendan Rodgers was arguing about who was buying players: all this kind of thing happens and even though a senior manager can’t fix everything, a senior manager does very well.”
