Liverpool told summer transfer was 'worst business in the world' as pundit backtracks on prediction

Pundit Paul Merson believes Liverpool's sale of Sadio Mane is the 'worst business in the world' after the club parted ways with the winger earlier in the transfer window.

The Senegalese international was about to enter the final year of his contract at Anfield but opted for a fresh challenge abroad. He joined Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for an initial £27.5m with a potential £5m in add-ons.

Mane has already scored three Bundesliga goals as the German club won their opening three games. The 30-year-old scored once in their 6-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt and twice in their 7-0 victory over VfL Bochum last weekend.
