In a shocking revelation that pulls back the curtain on the relationship between top tier clubs and broadcasters, Jamie Carragher has admitted that the famous 2022 interview with Erik Ten Hag was “arranged” by Manchester United.
The interview in question, aired in the air before Liverture against Liverpool in August 2022, is often remembered for the hard-hitting dundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carrageher received.
At the time, ten-year-old HAG were off to a disastrous start, losing their opening two games to Brighton and Brenford, the latter a humiliating 4-0 defeat.
While viewers believed they were watching the governors catch a manager who failed to respond, Carragher has now revealed part of the calculations put in place by the Club themselves.
Jamie Carrager reveals the truth about Erik Ten HAG Interview
This offer came during the X exchange. Caragher, who recently faced allegations of bias in relation to his criticism of the current Liverpool manager, was challenged by a fan in relation to Sky Sports executives.
In a moment of grassroots transparency, the former Liverpool defender quoted a fan to set the record straight, dropping a bombshell about the reality of the football media.
“This interview was organized by MAN UTD Press Office Not Sky Sports !! Eth Starting the ETH games, we would help him by talking to us about football. We asked difficult questions so it didn’t look like it looked, it was set !!”
When Liverpool ask!
This interview was arranged by a man Off Press Office not Sky Sports !!
The start of the two games ended very badly so the idea was helping him by talking to us about football. We asked tough questions so it didn’t look like what it is, set up– Jamie Carragher (@Carra23) November 24, 2025
The revelation of Kharanisi completely declared the narrative of that vision. Far from being recognized by Sky Sports for making a lot of side-to-side headlines, the Sit-Down was a rerun of the traditional Trafford sit-down.
The goal was to allow the ten hag to demonstrate his tactical acumen and regain credibility in the public eye.

At the time, the strategy seemed to be working.
Being asked “difficult” gave the impression of great scrutiny, satisfying angry fans who wanted answers, while at the same time giving his ten platform to clarify his conference without chaos.
| It’s the season | The result of the league | Home Cups | European competition |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-23 | Third in the Premier League | – The EFL Cup: The winners – The FA Cup: Those who run | UEFA Europa League: Quarter-Finals |
| 2023-24 | 8th in the Premier League | – The FA Cup: The winners – The EFL Cup: Knock (round 4) | UEFA Champions League: Out of group category |
| 2024-25 (up to October’25) | 15th in the Premier League | – The FA Cup: Reached round five – The EFL Cup: Quarter-Finals | UEFA Europa League: Those who run |
After the interview, United went on to beat Liverpool 2-1, a result that started the first season of the recent HAG and ultimately led to a third place finish and the Carabao Cup Trophy.
