Salah says Carragher would ‘never’ name him the MOTM

Mo Salah hinted Jamie Carragher may have an agenda against him after Sunday's big 2-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield.

The Reds confirmed their title credentials with a convincing victory over the champions. Cody Gakpo met a brilliant ball from Salah to open the scoring before the Egyptian doubled the lead from the penalty spot.

Liverpool's big players featured on the day, while captain Virgil van Dijk also shone at the back.

Ultimately, Salah was named man of the match, chosen by Carragher's fellow Sky pundit Gary Neville.

And Salah aimed a thinly veiled jab at former Liverpool skipper Carragher as Van Dijk presented him with the award.

“So who picked him?” Van Dijk asked the post-match interviewer after revealing the news.

The reporter told the duo that it was Marcel with Van Dijk and then said he was surprised Carragher had not given it to Salah.

“I wouldn't be,” Salah replied. 'Never. He would never give it to me.'

Carragher was then asked about the comment from presenter Dave Jones, who said: 'throw down the gauntlet, Jamie?'

Carragher jokingly responded: “I'll see him in the car park” before tweeting that he “would have given it to the VVD to be honest.”

Reflecting on the game itself, Salah said: “It's very special. I said before: I don't take it for granted. I love every minute here, it feels like home,” he explained.

'It's always a special feeling, scoring at Anfield and winning games.'

Asked if he enjoyed the occasion more knowing it might be his last, Salah replied: “Of course, of course.

“Honestly, that was in my head. This is the last City game I play for Liverpool so far [at Anfield]so I'm just going to enjoy it.

'The atmosphere was great, so I'm enjoying every second here. Hopefully we just win the league and see what can happen.”
