Marouane Fellaini has hit back in his feud with Jamie Carragher and dismissed the TV pundit as 'the guy who spat from his car on a girl'.
The two men have clashed on several occasions since their days as Merseyside rivals playing for Liverpool and Everton.
Two years ago, Carragher described Fellaini as 'a menace in the worst possible sense' and said his 'personal hope is that we would never see him playing in the Premier League again', after the big Manchester United midfielder was banned for elbowing Leicester's Robert Huth.
Fellaini responded last year by calling Carragher 'the champion of blah-blah and the world champion of breaking legs'.
Now the Belgium international has targeted Carragher once more by referring to the former England defender being suspended by Sky Sports for spitting out of his car window at a father and daughter following Liverpool's defeat at Old Trafford in March.
Asked in an interview with Belgian magazine Sport/Voetbal about the criticism he has received from pundits over his physical approach, Fellaini said: 'How can someone like Jamie Carragher dare to question me?
'The guy spat from his car on a girl after a Manchester-Liverpool match. You know, critics help you progress. You end up working more and you want to show them they are wrong.'
Fellaini has also come in for criticism from some fans who have never accepted him as a United player since he made a £27.5million move from Everton in 2013.
It came to a head in December 2016 when he was booed after coming on as a substitute against Tottenham at Old Trafford, a week after giving away a late penalty at his old club Everton for a clumsy foul on Idrissa Gueye.
'It's happened once,' said Fellaini. 'Everyone exaggerates when it comes to this. It was against Tottenham when I came on, a week after I gave away a penalty against Everton.
'In the end, I know one thing, and the fans do too: I've played an important role in all the trophies the club has won in recent years.'

He is not outstanding player But very important guy during tight period. He provide some good win for the club. You now all the players never become most talented. He is nice footballer among the middle player. We need him sometime and I have given him credit for most wins in premier league.

Spitting at a car? People don't make the news for spitting at cars. People aren't suspended from their media jobs for spitting at cars. Now, spitting at children... that's a different matter.

Jamie Carragher has to be careful after that unsavoury incident. He hasn't a leg to stand-on in any argument after what he did.

Well there we are. If Carragher is involved in any war of words with players in the near future, they'll throw that at him. Why wouldn't they? It's Carragher's own fault.
