Jamie Carragher made a risky joke about Roy Keane following Liverpoolās 2-0 win against Manchester City on Sunday ā and it didnāt go down too well.
Carragher, 46, was accompanied by Keane, 53, during Sky Sportsā 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 Salahās contractual situation, with the Egyptianās current deal set to expire in the summer of 2025.

Of course, after Liverpoolās 3-2 win against Southampton on November 24, Salah discussed the situation with reporters outside of St Maryās, admitting he was āmore out than inā.
The next day, Carragher was part of Sky Sportsā coverage for the MNF fixture between Newcastle and West Ham.
The former Liverpool defender discussed Salahās current situation and even branded him as āselfishā, stressing how he was ādisappointedā at the timing of the Liverpool manās comments ahead of a week that featured games against Real Madrid and Man City.

The back and forth continued after Liverpoolās win against City on Sunday, while Virgil van Dijk handed Salah the Player of the Match award in his post-match interview.
āIām surprised that Carra didnāt give it to you,ā said the Dutchman on Sky Sports.
āHe wouldn't...never, he [Jamie Carragher] wouldnāt give it to me,ā 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 āno problem with Salah and Van Dijkā.
But Carragher could not help but crack a joke, saying: āIāll see him [Mo Salah] in the car park.ā
Of course, this was a reference to Keaneās heated exchange with an Ipswich fan after Manchester Unitedās 1-1 draw against the Tractor Boys on November 24.

After a fan hurled abuse at Keane ā a former Ipswich manager ā the Irishman walked over to confront him before saying: āIāll 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 Carragherās joke.
