Gary Neville left Jamie Carragher stunned after making a controversial selection for his Team of the Season.

On Monday night, the duo appeared on Sky Sports' MNF for Manchester United's Premier League clash against Newcastle United at Old Trafford.

Neville was inside the stadium as he was partnering Peter Drury on commentary, meanwhile, Carragher joined Dave Jones in the studio to provide expert analyses.

After the match, the pair were tasked with picking their best 11 players of the season so far.

They both picked Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, Moises Caicedo, Mohamed Salah, Cole Palmer, Matheus Cunha and Chris Wood in their sides.

Although they agreed on seven out of the 11 spots, one of Neville's selections left Carragher bemused.

After the former United man revealed his choice of Josko Gvardiol for the left-back spot, Carragher said: "What games have you watched? Are you serious? Are you serious?!"

Neville replied: "Yeah, I'm serious. To be honest with you, left back I was struggling with badly. It was the position that I was most struggling with.

"He's scored four goals, he's always a threat, he's been the one who has consistently played and he's still the left-back I would pick, at this moment in time, in the league. If I was picking a team right now and I was thinking about building a back four, he’d be the player I'd put in at left-back."

Carragher then said: "We're picking on the first half of the season, and he's given goals away, so why have you picked him?" To which Neville simply stated: "Because I think he's the best left-back in the league."

Aside from Gvardiol, Neville selected Trent Alexander-Arnold, William Saliba and Van Dijk as the rest of his back four.

Carragher meanwhile opted for Ola Aina and Antonee Robinson in the full-back positions and Nikola Milenkovic as Van Dijk's partner at centre-back.

Meanwhile, Neville picked Matz Sels as his goalkeeper with Carragher selecting Arsenal's David Raya.

Gary Neville's team: Matz Sels; Trent Alexander-Arnold, William Saliba, Virgil van Dijk, Josko Gvardiol; Ryan Gravenberch, Moises Caicedo; Mohamed Salah, Cole Palmer, Matheus Cunha; Chris Wood
