Gary Neville offers Jamie Carragher last chance to honour Manchester United jersey forfeit

Can hardly say no to this

Paulinho – the Brazilian gift that keeps giving.

The former Spurs midfielder set off for the Far East, last week, after securing a pay increase and a £9.9m transfer away from White Hart Lane.

Jamie Carragher, back in 2013, fancied the midfielder to bag 15 goals a season for Tottenham butthat miracle never transpired.

As it was, Carragher lost a bet with Gary Neville, his fellow Sky Sports pundit. The former Liverpool defender agreed to wear a Manchester United jersey.

As we saw at the weekend, Carragher offered up a compromise – posing beside two youngsters in United jerseys – but Neville was not buying it.

Indeed, their exchange on Twitter sparked one of the best Neville comebacks yet and saw a Liverpool fan knocked off his online perch.

Today, Neville offered Carragher a last chance to redeem himself.

Alder Hey is a Children’s Hospital in Liverpool.

Expect to see Carragher in the jersey this week.

UPDATE: Jamie’s game ball!
