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.
