Gary Neville calls Jamie Carragher a "burglar" on air

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville got one over on his former Liverpool rival Jamie Carragher by calling him a "burglar" on live television.

The pair have come together as football experts on Sky Sports for the 2013-14 season, with Carragher making his debut on Monday Night Football during Manchester City's 4-0 victory over Newcastle United.

While discussing Robin van Persie's movement during United's victory over Swansea City, Neville described the Dutchman as a "burglar" before sending a similar playful jibe to his new colleague.

Neville said: "He's a bit like a burglar in your house, you don't know what room he's in."

Carragher replied with, "You would be under the bed," before Neville hit back with, "You would probably be the burglar!"

The duo's next Monday Night Football stint comes when United take on Chelsea at Old Trafford on August 26.
