Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher clash on rule change that impacts Manchester United and Man City

Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have once again clashed on our TV screens over a controversial rule change that will impact both Manchester United and Manchester City this season.

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar saw eye-catching numbers when it came to added time and similar measures and procedures have now been brought in by the EFL.
