Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher has hit back at fellow pundit, Patrice Evra after the Frenchman took a swipe at him for his criticism of Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo was handed the captain\u2019s armband by Man United interim manager, Ralf Rangnick, on Monday night against Wolves.<\/p>\n

But the 36-year-old failed to fire up his team-mates as they delivered another below-par performance to lose 1-0 at Old Trafford to Wolves.<\/p>\n

The result has harvested fresh questions over Ronaldo\u2019s impact, a question that Carragher addressed back in November during a heated debate with Manchester United legend, Roy Keane.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou finish second and sign Ronaldo at 36 \u2013 you are not going to win the league in four years. If you sign someone at 36 it\u2019s to win right now,\u201d Carragher stated, before asking: \u201cAre they any closer to winning the league?\u201d<\/p>\n

Those comments annoyed Evra, who felt the need to come to the defence of Ronaldo, his former Man United team-mate.<\/p>\n

While working for Amazon Prime, Evra said: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of talk about this player [Cristiano Ronaldo] and I really don\u2019t understand it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome players like Jamie Carragher, he had 775 games, today Cristiano scored 801 goals. And those kinds of people talk about Cristiano.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I just think people have to stay in their lane and I don\u2019t understand that hate.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, following Man United\u2019s defeat to Wolves, Carragher could not help but hit back at Evra.<\/p>\n

The former England defender took to his Twitter account and wrote that he was \u201cgetting back out of the lane\u201d in a direct jab towards Evra.<\/p>\n
