Jamie Carragher has indicated the only Manchester United player he’d sign if given the chance to choose from Erik ten Hag’s squad for Liverpool.
Manchester United have endured a lackluster season, despite initial optimism surrounding Erik ten Hag’s debut year at Old Trafford. As the campaign nears its conclusion, United find themselves trailing by 11 points from the top-four.
Amid the disappointing performance, there have been some notable bright spots. Alejandro Garnacho has particularly shone, both on and off the field, showcasing promise amidst the struggles of some senior players. Additionally, Rasmus Hojlund has gradually silenced his critics as the season has progressed.
However, amid these positive developments, one standout revelation emerges above all others.
Jamie Carragher Names Erik ten Hag’s Player He’d Sign for Liverpool
Kobbie Mainoo went into this season with a mere three first-team outings for United under his belt. However, he has since solidified his position as a pivotal figure in ten Hag’s lineup.
With his remarkable progress, there arises a genuine possibility of Mainoo earning a spot in England’s squad for Euro 2024.
Given Mainoo’s emergence, it is perhaps unsurprising that the 18-year-old caught the attention of Jamie Carragher.
When asked on The Overlap about which Manchester United player he would sign for Liverpool, Carragher singled out Mainoo.
“I think I would probably take the young kid, Mainoo,” he said.
“Mainoo, his age, number one. I think he looks like a superstar. He could go on to be a real superstar. I’m trying to think of who else in the United team is better than a Liverpool player in their position really.”
Carragher faces a different dilemma compared to Gary Neville when tasked with selecting a standout Liverpool player. Mainoo emerges as a clear favourite among many Liverpool fans, surpassing other contenders.

Wataru Endo’s performance this season has garnered attention, yet Mainoo’s potential trajectory evokes awe and anticipation for his future achievements.
Mainoo’s capabilities hint at a level Manchester United could benefit from integrating into their squad, indicating his importance as a cornerstone for their future endeavors. His exceptional talent is becoming increasingly evident to observers.
