Jamie Carragher uses Mohamed Salah to argue Manchester United made Erik ten Hag mistake

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Jamie Carragher believes Manchester United have to rethink Erik ten Hag's approach in the transfer window - citing Liverpool's switch for Mohamed Salah.

The Anfield club signed the Egyptian in 2017 but initially, manager Jurgen Klopp had his sights on raiding Germany for their talents - namely Julian Brandt.

At the time, the winger was linked with a £25m move from the Bundesliga to Liverpool but the then-Bayer Leverkusen man snubbed a move to Merseyside.

Liverpool's focus turned to long-standing target, Salah, who they failed to sign when Chelsea bought him from FC Basel. The 31-year-old endured a difficult spell at Stamford Bridge before enjoying a resurgence in the Serie A with Fiorentina and AS Roma.
