Jamie Carragher issues official response to Mohamed Salah after shock MNF call out

Former Liverpool man Jamie Carragher has responded to Mohamed Salah after being called out during Sky Sports' live broadcast of Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest.

On Monday night, Carragher and presenter Dave Jones were joined by Fulham star Tom Cairney for Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

Forest came away 3-0 winners thanks to goals from Morgan Gibbs-White, Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi.

However, the aftermath was dominated by Salah after he took to social media to call out Liverpool legend Carragher.

The Egyptian wrote: "I’m starting to think you’re obsessed with me," after Carragher stated that he and Trent Alexander-Arnold 'could take a leaf out of Virgil van Dijk's book' over the handling of their contract situations.

When asked about Salah's comment after the Wolves vs Forest match, Carragher responded: "I mean, I have got a Mo Salah obsession.

"I don't think it's the type of obsession that he thinks it is."

He continued: "It's more of a football obsession and watching him in a red shirt. I mean, I come in, I get asked a question and I answer as diplomatically as I possibly can.

"I'm not going to criticise Mo Salah or Trent Alexander-Arnold, I'm going to rave about how Virgil van Dijk handled it and I get myself in all kinds of trouble."

With the January transfer window now open, Liverpool trio Salah, Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold are all able to speak to foreign clubs as they enter the final few months of their deals.

Full-back Alexander-Arnold has been heavily linked with a move to Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid, with Liverpool believed to have rejected an approach from Los Blancos last week.

Meanwhile, speaking ahead of Liverpool's disappointing 2-2 draw against Manchester United, Salah was asked whether this season will be his last at Anfield.

The 32-year-old replied: "So far? Yes. Into the last 6 months, there is no progress there, we're far away from any progress, so we just need to wait and see."

Liverpool are back in action on Wednesday night when they take on Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup.
