Carragher: Forget Man Utd, Souness started Liverpool demise

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher says it was Graeme Souness - not Manchester United - which started the rot at Anfield. Souness had a difficult spell in charge of Liverpool just as United began winning the Premier League.

When asked what he would like to ask Sir Alex Ferguson, Carragher said: "If I was in his company, I would also tell him, first off, that Manchester United never knocked Liverpool off their ******* perch, as he put it. That's just nonsense. Graeme Souness did that.

"When United were going for their first title under Ferguson in 1992-93, they were competing with Norwich and Aston Villa. They weren't competing with Liverpool, were they?"
