Jamie Carragher has apologised for ‘losing his head’ in an incident involving a teenage Manchester United fan and her father on Saturday.

The TV football pundit said he was taunted several times by a driver after he left Old Trafford following Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat.

In the footage shown above, Carragher appears to wind down his window and spit in the direction of their vehicle.

The driver, a Man Utd fan, said he spotted Carragher behind the wheel of his car.

The man shouts: “Two-one mate” before laughing: “Unlucky Jamie lad.”

Carragher, smartly dressed in a suit and tie, appears to lean forward and spit towards the man’s car.

The former Liverpool defender was spotted at Lime Street station early on Monday heading for London, where he was expected to be presenting Sky Sports' Monday Night Football programme this evening.

Sky Sports have confirmed they will be addressing the matter with him.

Last night, the ex-Liverpool and England star said he would apologise to the girl for his actions.

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, he admitted: “I lost my head.

“It was a bit more than ‘hiya Jamie, it was 2-1’. It went on for two or three times. I drove away at first and it just continued and continued.

“I was leaving the ground and trying to keep my head down. I thought it was a Liverpool fan at first wanting an autograph at first so I stopped.

“It carried on and I drove away but it carried on again and I lost my head.

“I shouldn’t have done it but I was thinking what is a grown man doing, carrying on like that two or three times with his daughter in the car?”

Carragher added: “I will apologise to the daughter.”

He also posted on Twitter this evening: "Totally out of order & Ive apologised personally to all the family this evening. I was goaded 3/4 times along the motorway while being filmed & lost my rag. No excuse apologies."
