Jamie Carragher made a risky joke about Roy Keane following Liverpoolâs 2-0 win against Manchester City on Sunday â and it didnât go down too well.
Carragher, 46, was accompanied by Keane, 53, during Sky Sportsâ coverage of the crunch match at Anfield with Daniel Sturridge and Micah Richards also part of the live broadcast team.
As the former pros dissected the game, as expected, one of the talking points was Mo Salahâs contractual situation, with the Egyptianâs current deal set to expire in the summer of 2025.
Of course, after Liverpoolâs 3-2 win against Southampton on November 24, Salah discussed the situation with reporters outside of St Maryâs, admitting he was âmore out than inâ.

The next day, Carragher was part of Sky Sportsâ coverage for the MNF fixture between Newcastle and West Ham.
The former Liverpool defender discussed Salahâs current situation and even branded him as âselfishâ, stressing how he was âdisappointedâ at the timing of the Liverpool manâs comments ahead of a week that featured games against Real Madrid and Man City.
The back and forth continued after Liverpoolâs win against City on Sunday, while Virgil van Dijk handed Salah the Player of the Match award in his post-match interview.
âIâm surprised that Carra didnât give it to you,â said the Dutchman on Sky Sports.
âHe wouldn't...never, he [Jamie Carragher] wouldnât give it to me,â Salah replied.

The broadcast then cut to the studio at Anfield, allowing Carragher to respond.
After doubling down on his previous comments, the 46-year-old insisted he had âno problem with Salah and Van Dijkâ.
But Carragher could not help but crack a joke, saying: âIâll see him [Mo Salah] in the car park.â
Of course, this was a reference to Keaneâs heated exchange with an Ipswich fan after Manchester Unitedâs 1-1 draw against the Tractor Boys on November 24.
After a fan hurled abuse at Keane â a former Ipswich manager â the Irishman walked over to confront him before saying: âIâll wait for you in the car park, and we can discuss it!" as he was led away by security.
But on Sunday, the former United captain allowed himself a raised smile despite being the butt of Carragherâs joke.
