'Carragher is drunk again': Man United fans react to Jamie's ridiculous Van Dijk vs Vidic comparison
Jamie Carragher was so happy with the fact that Liverpool were able to earn a point against Arsenal on Sunday that he couldn't help but embarrass himself.
Taking to Twitter after the Anfield stalemate, the Sky Sports' presenter went out of his way to claim that Virgil van Dijk was 'far better' than Nemanja Vidic.
The ex-Liverpool centre-back wrote: 'VVD is far better than Vidic, who was a top CB, but have you forgot his performances against [Fernando] Torres?"
Manchester United fans had something to say about Carragher's recent social media activity, pointing out that Van Dijk has won the Premier League just once.
Carragher is drunk again.

Vidic won player of the year twice in a year where Cristiano Ronaldo was his team mate…. And Ronaldo was widely regarded as the best player in the world, let alone the league at that point.
Van Disney isn’t near Vidic level. https://t.co/5357DWV1I8
Hats off to Carragher. He might be a genius

Won’t call out Klopp so come out swinging today and made the conversation Vidic or Van Dijk.
But - it’s just a distraction from the fact Liverpool are going to finish lower than any of the failures United had the past decade. pic.twitter.com/hCuLr2OMV2
Jamie Carragher said few weeks ago that he’d replace Van Dijk in the current Liverpool team. Today he’s saying that Van Dijk is a better defender than Vidic, Rio and JT. 🤡. Talk about a clueless Person, it’s Jamie!

Recency bias is so real, real ones don’t forget how good Vidic was 😂 https://t.co/kN2rhFvKIn
VVD is far better than Vidic, who was a top CB, but have you forgot his performances against Torres?

Rio & JT had poor seasons in their career like all players, VVD is having one now.
No CB in the PL era has ever had VVD’s impact on a team. https://t.co/rZ7vfHRN7d
