Pogba’s days at Old Trafford appear to be numbered with his agent, Mino Raiola, claiming the Frenchman’s time at the club is ‘over’.
Listing their ‘2021 predictions’ on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, Carragher picked Man City’s John Stones as the player to watch, while Neville named Pogba - something he later denied doing.
Sky Sports presenter Dave Jones said: “Let’s have a look at the player to watch, this could be interesting.”
Carragher could not help bursting into laughter when seeing Neville’s selection was Pogba.
Neville replied by saying: “I didn’t even fill that in by the way. I’ve said it for the last three years…”

Carragher interrupted: “He says this every year!”
While Carragher inserted himself into the television frame, Neville continued: “I’ve said it for the last three years because I still want him to drive Manchester United forward and be the player that he can be at the club and drive them towards a title.
“That sounds laughable at this moment in time.”
Carragher again interrupted: “It is!”
Neville concluded: “But that’s what I’d like to see him do. I didn’t actually pick him on that. Someone’s messed around with that.”
Neville and Carragher's predictions
- CHAMPIONS - both Liverpool
Neville: "I said they were going to at the start of the season, and there’s nothing I see.
“That moment around Villa and Van Dijk getting injured I thought, ‘this could be interesting’, but they’ve settled down.
“They’ll have bumps - they didn’t have bumps last year, they were unbelievable - they’ll have bumps this year just because of the league and the way it is but I think they’ll definitely get there.”
- TOP FOUR
Neville: Man City, Man United, Spurs.
Carragher: Man City, Man United, Chelsea.
Neville: “You’re allowed to change your mind, aren’t you?
“To be honest with you I said Chelsea I thought could finish in the top four.
“That last one - I think Manchester City and Manchester United will definitely finish in the top three and I think it'll be Chelsea or Tottenham, and it’s a flip of the coin to be honest with you.”
Carragher: “I think United will, I think they’ve got a lot. Their attacking power is fantastic. You look at the bench at the weekend against Leeds, they’ve got a really strong squad, Manchester United. You always fancy them to score goals in games so I think they’ll be there or thereabouts."
