Mohamed Salah has made Old Trafford his stomping ground since arriving at Liverpool, but it’s now time for someone else to take the mantle, and Cody Gakpo is a dark horse to do just that. It’s a shame he won’t get to torment Liverpool’s bitter rivals one more time, but it could be a passing of the guard.



After all, he already has a stunning record against them at Anfield. The scrutiny he has come under hasn’t been without cause — he can be incredibly frustrating at times.

That said, he has also helped Liverpool to some major honours and the output is usually consistent. If he can continue to put on good displays, there’s no reason he can’t get fans back on side.
