Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has given Manchester United an F grade in his mid-season report. With the Premier League season almost at its halfway mark, clubs are now preparing for the busy festive period. Carragher gave an A to his former club Liverpool.
Carragher said he would have given Arne Slott’s team an A+ had they not dropped points at home to Nottingham Forest and Fulham. Forest, managed by former Wolves coach Nuno Espirito Santo, received an A+ from Carragher for their impressive performances this season.
Liverpool currently top the league table with 39 points, while Chelsea and Arsenal are second and third with 35 and 33 points respectively. Defending champions Manchester City were given an E+, having lost six of their 17 matches.
