Writing in The Telegraph, Carragher claimed that Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City will go down as one of the greatest teams in history if they win the treble this season.

The Anfield icon claimed European glory would allow Guardiola’s City to be classed on the same level as Arrigo Sacchi’s AC Milan, Johan Cruyff’s Barcelona, Rinus Michels’ Ajax, and Guardiola’s own Barca team.

But to Neville’s disbelief, Carragher left Ferguson’s United off his list.

The pair often exchange words online, and replying to his Sky Sports colleague on Twitter, Neville wrote: “Errrrr? You missed a team out my friend.”

Carragher argued by claiming United’s 1999 treble winning team did not influence the rest of Europe.

He hit back: “The Man Utd treble team did not influence European football!!!

“Those other teams/managers are still talked about today in terms of influencing the current generation of managers & tactics.”

Neville then blasted Carragher as “mad” – claiming Ferguson was responsible for changing the way managers view the game for introducing the concept of squad rotation.

He said to Carragher: “You’re mad!

“SAF [Ferguson] through that team pioneered squad rotation and having a pool of strikers.

“Changed the way managers look at doing it today and achieving success.”

But Carragher stuck to his guns, responding: “Cruyff: Total football. Sacchi: Compact high press. Pep: False 9, false fullback. SAF: Changed the team 😂😂.

“You know the respect I have for SAF but he deserves a better argument than that!!”

Neville came back by referencing the time Ferguson’s team selection was debated in parliament.

Fergie faced a petition from Port Vale fans that made it to Westminster after the United gaffer rested a host of big name players for a League Cup game back in 1994.

Neville wrote on Twitter: “You know how difficult it is to leave 6 players out for an FA Cup Semi v Arsenal!

“No/one ever trusted their squad like he did. It was debated in parliament as a crime against football when he did it v Port Vale.

“This was pioneering! By the way the football was electric!”
