The two have played a crucial role in the Reds' push to win the quadruple this season including the Premier League title.

While Salah has been in hot form this term, the Premier League top scorer has endured a somewhat rough patch in recent weeks.

Mane, on the other hand, has continued his impressive run, with the Senegalese scoring crucial goals for the Jurgen Klopp-tutored side.

The forward scored a vital winner in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Tuesday night, May 10, to keep his side's Premier League title hopes alive.

Speaking after Liverpool's win over Villa, Carragher admitted that he actually prefers Mane over Salah.

Accordingording to the ex-Reds ace, he prefers the Senegal international due to his attitude and tireless efforts to help the team.

"For me as a Liverpool fan when I watch Liverpool play, Sadio Mane is my favourite player. He's the one I watch," Mirror UK quoted the Reds legend saying.
"We know Salah's numbers, he's won the Golden Boot, so you can't say he doesn't do his job. But as you say about Mane, he's sacrificed himself at times, the shift he puts in. Not just him but Salah as well... five years they've been at it now," he added.
