Once a Red, always a Red.
It depends what red you’re wearing of course.
Old Trafford doesn’t forget too quickly and Jamie Carragher was back playing the role of pantomime villain in the home of Manchester United.
One of Sky Sports’ finest was just there doing his bit for charity. David Beckham did his bit with the organising for UNICEF and Paul Scholes played his usual role too, nutmegging John Terry for the laughs.
But Carragher’s attendance wasn’t to be treated with any less hostility than it would’ve been had he been there with his old club, Liverpool. And he wasn’t expecting any less.

And, true to the everlasting rivalry, United fans – or fans of BT Sport, it’s hard to be sure – gave Carragher a horrible goodbye and thank you by booing him the whole way off of the Old Trafford pitch after the game.
Paul Scholes got cheered down the tunnel. Then it was poor Carra’s turn.
