Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has taken aim at Southampton icon Matt Le Tissier.
Le Tissier slammed Liverpool over the Virgil van Dijk fiasco this week.
But Carragher told talkSPORT: “I don't have a problem with Liverpool speaking to Van Dijk because every club will be doing that right now.
“If Matt was speaking about the fact Liverpool spoke to Van Dijk – then no – I don't think there was a problem with that.
“Matt only played for Southampton, so he wouldn't have been involved in too many transfers, but I'm sure he almost went to Tottenham or Chelsea under Glenn Hoddle.
“I'd be very surprised if he never spoke to Glenn Hoddle before the clubs agreed a fee.
“I'm sure Ian Holloway reported Southampton to the FA over Matt Phillips, or there was some illegal tapping-up – so Southampton will be doing exactly the same thing.
“I guarantee Southampton will be doing exactly the same thing about a new manager."
