Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher says there are doubts over Mohamed Salah's role ahead of Liverpool's game against Manchester United on Sunday.
Salah scored a hat-trick in Liverpool's 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday, where he played in a more central striker role. However, last season Salah often occupied a wider role, a position which he has been moved back to against the Premier League's top six so far this season.
Carragher highlighted on Monday Night Football that Jurgen Klopp prefers Salah in the wider positions against the top clubs, with the benefit being that Klopp can pack the midfield against better opposition.
Carragher said:
“I would imagine that is the obvious reason.

“If you remember Ashley Young, as a right-footed player at left-back you naturally tuck in because you’re right footed and that’s the space Salah likes."
Before Liverpool host United they will have to face Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday, where the outcome will decide their future in the continent's top competition.
