Ferdinand shared a clip of the video on Instagram, which prompted ex-Liverpool defender Carragher to reply: "I didn't say that you clown, stop playing to the gallery like you always do."

In response, Ferdinand said: "You've had a bad couple a weeks...[Myles] Lewis-Skelly and Pep [Guardiola]...." But this isn't the first time the pair have clashed online or in person, with their exchanges occasionally turning quite bitter.

The tension dates back to May 2023 when Inter Milan secured a 2-0 victory over AC Milan in the Champions League semi-final first leg.

Ferdinand didn't hesitate to enter the debate via Twitter and typed: "Carragher, stop arguing about league titles with a man that's won multiple league titles!"

Ferdinand casually dismissed the allegations and urged Carragher to display similar boldness on TV, especially when formidable figures like Keane are around: "What WhatsApp group?!

I want to see him say, 'I can't believe Stevie's gone there.'"

Ferdinand ended on a supportive note for those making the Saudi move: "I'm actually buzzing for any of the guys who have gone out to Saudi - because it's Saudi, people are going mad, but all these other countries and leagues over the years have done exactly the same thing."

Carragher hit back with a sharp response, saying: "I never criticised Silva, [Karim] Benzema, [Ruben] Neves or SG [Gerrard], I don't like Saudi trying to buy football like they have golf.

you disrespected the league/country/culture but kept (quiet) when ur 2 boys Stevie/[Robbie] Fowler went 10 days later," said Ferdinand in response.

It was Carragher who wrapped up this episode of their online spat, however, as he said: "You're going back to tweet one!
