Mo Salah has made history at Liverpool, and is even now history at Anfield. In recent years, the Egyptian superstar has been constantly reported to be on his way away from the Merseyside club, already in recent years with Klopp. Now a former Manchester United player says he received an offer from Klopp’s Liverpool as a Salah replacement. We’re guessing Liverpool supporters breathe a sigh of relief that this scenario never happened.
We don’t know how Brazilian Antony would have worked in Klopp’s attacking football, but after following the former Ajax player for 96 games for Manchester United with countless feints and dribbles out on the wing, but with a meagre 12 goals and 5 assists as a result, few believe that Antony would have handled the Premier League and English football much better with the LFC logo on his shirt.

In an interview with ESPN Brazil, Antnony now says he had the opportunity to sign with Manchester United’s arch-rival.
“When I went to Manchester United, I had an offer from Liverpool, from Klopp, on the table. It was also very good. Salah negotiated a possible exit, but he ended up staying. Then the manager (Ten Hag) called. Manchester United’s name carries weight, says Antony.
It wasn’t Liverpool, nor was it a stay at Manchester United worth remembering. Now happiness is smiling again on the Brazilian, who is enjoying himself in La Liga at Real Betis.
