Jamie Carragher gives immediate reaction to Mo Salah's Liverpool future claim as fans come up with theory

Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Mohamed Salah's huge claim about his Liverpool future as fans have come up with a theory.

Salah shone as Liverpool beat Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.

He grabbed two assists before getting on the score-sheet himself with a tidy finish in the second-half.

After the result, Salah spoke to Sky Sports, where he dropped the biggest bombshell yet about his Liverpool career.

Carragher gave his immediate reaction to Salah's post-match interview as he compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo in wanting to break records.

The Liverpool legend also doesn't foresee the 32-year-old joining the Saudi Pro League next summer.

"He's too good a player"

Salah's comments got fans online talking, too, including X user @LBLFC_, who believes the Liverpool superstar went public to put pressure on the club.

The social media user wrote: "Mo Salah has just put pressure on the club there, and good on him. Get that contract sorted ASAP. He's still the best player in his position in the world by an absolute mile. He can play until he's 40 him. Ridiculous footballer."

Before kick-off, Carragher was asked about new Liverpool signing Federico Chiesa.

He believes the Italian winger is a 'great addition' and is a genuine player to replace Salah this season.

"I think the biggest thing it gives Liverpool is actual genuine quality to replace Mo Salah, when he is rested at times or maybe has a slight knock," Carragher said.

"Because when you think of all the other attacking options Liverpool have, the majority of them feel more comfortable on the left. So any of them when they play on the right - whether it's [Darwin] Nunez or [Diogo] Jota or [Luis] Diaz or [Cody] Gakpo - it never feels right.

"Chiesa, more often than not, is playing from that side, so I think it is a great addition.

"We talk about Manchester United in the past having four forwards [for two striking spots in 1998-99] famously in the treble season. Liverpool play with three forwards and they've got six now, so there's a healthy competition."
