Naby Keita proves Ralf Rangnick right as Man Utd manager's call pays off for Liverpool

Ralf Rangnick was once very close to cashing in on Naby Keita while the midfielder was at RB Salzburg before keeping him within the Red Bull set-up.

Keita's form has been somewhat up and down since he decided to make the switch to Liverpool, but while he was at RB Salzburg the Guinea international had managed to catch the eye of plenty of potential suitors. One club interested was French giants Paris Saint-Germain and Keita could have been on the move were it not for Rangnick's intervention.

The 27-year-old is in the midst of one of his better runs of form since arriving at Anfield and is gearing up to take on United in a contest that could see Liverpool go top of the Premier League with just six games left to play afterwards.
