Jamie Carragher tells Arne Slot NOT to make Mohamed Salah a guaranteed starter as Gary Neville reveals the key sign which shows Anfield hero may be on the decline after Man Utd defeat

Jamie Carragher has warned Arne Slot that Mohamed Salah should no longer be an automatic starter for Liverpool after their 2-1 defeat by Manchester United at Anfield.

The former Reds defender said the Egyptian forward, once untouchable in Liverpool's attack, must now be managed carefully as his influence fades.

'It's a real conundrum for the manager and what he'll do. It's interesting that he brought him off,' Carragher told Sky Sports.

'Jurgen Klopp used to bring him off a lot, that shows you in years gone by Mo Salah could have a poor game and be brought off even if he had a bit of extra energy and sharpness.
