Neville will be on commentary duty, on June 25, at Old Trafford when his old club takes on Sheffield United. For both sides, the winner could make big Champions League qualification strides with a victory. While the previous may have been an odd sentence to type a few years ago, that is the current state of play in England.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team selections will be fascinating as his team went into the pandemic-enforced break in the season on a winning run. It will be interesting to see if the fit again Paul Pogba gets back into the starting XI.
Neville believes there is certainly room for a United midfield with both Pogba and Bruno Fernandes in it.
"If they're played in a system where... " Neville begins.
"If Pogba didn't have to work hard!" adds Carragher.
After a mock eye-roll, Neville continues: "In the last interview we did, Jamie said Paul Pogba wouldn't make the Liverpool midfield, which was embarrassing!
"I think they both can play together and they'll both have to be given the freedom to play. You would have said this sort of thing 15, 20 years ago - 'Can they play in the same team together?' Systems are more fluid now; football is more fluid.
"To me, I would say that if those two players couldn't work together in a midfield three, with a more defensive player in with them, Olé would take that as a reflection on himself. He can absolutely make that work.
"I saw a team at United that had Scholes, Tevez, Rooney, Ronaldo and Giggs in it that won the European Cup. Sometimes Owen Hargreaves came in, or Ji-Sung Park, but in the big games you had Scholes in midfield with Michael Carrick... if you've got really good players, they should be able to play together."
At the end of that response, Neville jokingly thanks Carragher for being silent.
Carragher just smiles. As a former Liverpool player, he has greater prizes on his mind.
