The former Liverpool defender-turned sportscaster Jamie Carragher had already apologized to the family, but his current employer took him off "Monday Night Football" broadcast following a meeting.

The confrontation took place following Manchester United 2-1 win over the Anfield outfit on Saturday as Carragher was driving from the stadium where he covered the match for Sky.

The footage, shot by the 14-year-old Red Devils fan's dad, shows the Former Liverpool man aiming a mouthful of saliva at the passenger window of their car.

​The dad claims he only said "a bit of banter" to Carragher, bringing up the 2-1 scoreline, before he spat at them, hitting his daughter's face, but the 40-year-old has a slightly different account.

"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. 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?" said Carragher according to The Mirror.

Carragher's fellow Sky analyst Gary Neville took to Twitter to express his hope the pair remains intact on air, but didn't defend his friend's actions.
