Jamie Carragher in furious row with Bobby Duncan's agent amid Liverpool 'bullying' claims

Jamie Carragher has become embroiled in a fierce row with Bobby Duncan;s agent after a shocking accusation was labelled at Liverpool .

The Reds have been accused of bullying teenager Duncan and damaging his mental health, leaving him unable to leave the house.

Liverpool blocked a loan move away from the club this summer with Fiorentina and FC Nordsjaelland keen on signing him.

Duncan, cousin of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, had impressed in pre-season but wanted to move on to secure first-team football.

But his agent Saif Rubie has launched an explosive accusation at the club, insisting Duncan will never return.

Sky Sports pundit and Liverpool legend Carragher took to social media to address the issue and hit out over the statement.

"I know Bobby & his family well, he’s young & at that age we all want everything right now," Carragher said.

"Played for the 1st team in pre season which is a great start & he should try & develop this season & maybe make the bench in Caraboa Cup.

Carragher added: 'That should be the advice you’re giving him' before inserting a clown emoji.

Carragher's response led to a social media spat with Duncan's agent, who hit out at the Sky pundit for his spitting shame.

Rubie responded: "Do you also want to give advice on how to spit at people from the outside of a car?

"You're the last person to say or know what's really going on behind the scenes. Focus on your job and I'll focus on mine,"

Carragher was filmed spitting in the direction of a Manchester United fan in 2018.

The Kop legend added: "I made a huge mistake & apologised, I hurt myself more than anyone.

"You have made a big mistake & are hurting yourself but more importantly a young lads career. Throwing Stevie Gerrard’s name in also is embarrassing."

Rubie again responded: "No problem Jamie. But in life you can't be wrong and strong.

"When the truth comes out as to how Michael Edwards has handled Bobby's wellbeing and future you will be thinking differently I promise you. Not a single word in the statement is not the hard truth."

But Carragher was insistent adding: "There is a problem & it’s you. You take on the most powerful person at the club besides Klopp?!! Madness. Club will never deal with you again."

He adds: "I think Bobby Duncan should leave this guy before he gets sacked by the club."

Liverpool have not responded to the accusations from Duncan's agent.
