Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher will wear a Manchester United shirt after losing a bet with Gary Neville.

The duo had a wager regarding the amount of goals Tottenham midfielder Paulinho would score for the club, with Neville confident he would score fewer than 15 in a season.

Carragher took the bet but Paulinho managed just six goals in the Premier League during his two seasons – and 10 in total – before moving to Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande.

Carragher now has to endure any Liverpool fan's worse nightmare on August 10 when West Bromwich Albion host Manchester City – a game live on the new season's first Monday Night Football.

Neville tweeted: "Just been confirmed @Carra23 has received my United shirt. He will wear it on the (10th) August." 

The bet was in aid of Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust and the shirt will be auctioned off for the charity afterwards.

There was no love lost between Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville in their playing days.
