MANCHESTER UNITED MIDFIELDER Marouane Fellaini has questioned Jamie Carragher’s authority to pass judgement on him in the wake of the Liverpool legend’s spitting scandal.
Carragher was suspended from his television punditry role after being caught on camera spitting through the passenger window of a car following a verbal exchange with the driver, whose daughter was sitting beside him and was hit by the projectile.
Fellaini was described as “a menace in the worst possible sense” by Carragher in a newspaper column two years ago, prompting the Belgium international to describe the former England star as the “champion of blah-blah and the world champion of breaking legs”.
But Fellaini has once again taken aim at the 40-year-old, making reference to his actions in the wake of United’s 2-1 win over Liverpool in March.
“How can someone like Carragher lecture me?” Fellaini told Sport/Voetbal magazine.
“The guy who spat on a girl from his car after Manchester United-Liverpool.
“You know, the critics help you progress, you end up working more, you want to show them they are wrong.”
Fellaini has been limited to 15 Premier League appearances for United this season because of injury, but scored his fourth goal of the campaign when he netted the injury time winner against Arsenal on Sunday.

He has a point.
@Paul O Mahony: damn right he has a point. That toe rag should never be allowed judge another player on TV. If Sky bring him back a lot of fans (not just Man Utd fans) will find it very difficult to listen to him. Anyone with any doubts should ask themselves what if that happened & it was your little girl? Any man worth his salt knows the answer to that.
@ManUtdMan: no, just man u fans , back under your rock
@Carl O Neill: sound so you wouldn’t have a problem with someone spitting on your daughter & then watching them on TV? Says more about you son
@Paul O Mahony: no afraid not, people in glass houses, he’s an expert spitter himself .. dirty yoke should leave the spitting conversation to decent people .
@ManUtdMan: is fellaini your son?
Hard to argue with him on that. Carragher will never have any credibility from now on.
Very valid point . Nothing any player can do will be as bad as what carragher did as there is not any little girls on the field . Going to be hard watching him next year back on sky as it will be hard to look past what type of person he is under the persona of the Happy go lucky guy he portrays on tv .
@Running Down The Wing: 6 times sooooooooon!
@Running Down The Wing: look who’s on a United thread when Liverpool are playing. Obsessed or what?
@Running Down The Wing: does that make spitting at a little girl ok ? Not sure what your point is you creep !
@Paul Friday Shannon: obsessed.
Childish response
@Ollie Watson: Childish response about a childish action
@Stephen Lyons: never mind Alan down below you have a fair point tbf
@Ollie Watson: Cheers, I wasn’t defending Fellaini but Alan seems to think I was. He’ll hate knowing that he has something in common with Fellaini; childish comments!
@Running Down The Wing: But he didn’t beat anyone up did he ??? How’s Flano these days
@Stephen Lyons: hahaha
Not matter which side you are on . Carraghers pundit days must be numbered . Whenever he says anything that incident will be thrown in his face, maybe rightly so.
The faux outrage here is hilarious
