EPL: Liverpool told they should’ve sold Salah instead of Mane

By Adeleye Kunle

Football pundit, Richard Keys, has told Liverpool they should have sold Mohamed Salah instead of Sadio Mane during the recently concluded summer transfer window.

Liverpool currently sit in eighth position in the Premier League table with nine points.

The Reds have drawn three, won two and lost one of their six matches so far.

Jurgen Klopp’s side also suffered an embarrassing 4-1 defeat at the hands of Napoli in their UEFA Champions League opener a few days ago.

Assessing Liverpool’s start to the season, Keys insisted that he has been surprised by their poor run of form, insisting that the Anfield club are still tired after their 63-game run last season.

The BeIN Sports presenter wrote in his blog: “I can’t pretend that I’m a little surprised about Liverpool’s stuttering start. I’m sure it’ll come right, but they look tired. Salah is still way off and that’s got to be a concern for Klopp.

“I know they had to sell either Mane or Salah because both contracts were winding down, but at the moment, it looks as if they sold the wrong one, despite Mane’s apparent difficulties in Munich.”
