Former Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher was told to 'behave' by Martin Tyler after making a joke about Manchester United and referees on Friday night.
The former England international was alongside Tyler in the gantry to commentate on Fulham against Wolves for Sky Sports at Craven Cottage. The away side took the lead through Pablo Sarabia in the 23rd minute, but Marco Silva's men responded well and levelled proceedings in the second half.
During the coverage of the clash, conversation turned to Sunday's Carabao Cup final between United and Newcastle. Tyler suggested Michael Oliver - who was the referee for the game on Friday night - could be in attendance at Wembley to support the Magpies.

Tyler stated that Oliver is not permitted to referee Newcastle games as he publicly supports the club. Despite this, Carragher was quick to joke that some referees might have a certain fondness for United.
"Obviously you can’t referee the club you support, so it must’ve been hard for them to find someone for the Carabao Cup final with Manchester United involved," Carragher said laughing.
Tyler quickly responded by telling the Liverpool legend to 'behave' following the remark, but it was clear that Carragher was only making a light-hearted joke.
The Carabao Cup final will be refereed by David Coote, with Erik ten Hag's side looking to win their first trophy since 2017. However, the Reds are unsure if Marcus Rashford will be fit to start the game. He sustained an ankle injury in the second half of United's 2-1 Europa League play-off win over Barcelona on Thursday night and was substituted in the 88th minute.
Rashford has been in scintillating form in recent months - registering 16 goals in his last 18 games.
