Jamie Carragher has backed Bobby Duncan after the teenager's representative claimed he was being kept at Liverpool against his will amid a number of staggering claims.
Duncan's representative, football agent Saif Rubie, released a statement on Twitter - endorsed by Duncan and pinned until it was later removed - making a series of sensational claims.
They included the young striker being unhappy, sporting director Michael Edwards rejecting offers for his sale and the Reds reportedly believing the player will never play for the club.
Liverpool legend Carragher posted a message back to Rubie calling him a clown via an emoji and offered Duncan advice he believes his agent should have been giving him.
He said: "I know Bobby & his family well, he’s young & at that age we all want everything right now. 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. That should be the advice you’re giving him you."
