Paul Merson claims Liverpool have done "worst business ever" as he criticises transfer

Liverpool made a major mistake by selling Sadio Mane in the summer and they will live to regret the decision to replace him with Darwin Nunez.

That's an opinion held by former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson, who claimed that getting rid of Mane "was the worst business ever" and also admitted that his replacement, Nunez, "isn't in the same league at the moment". Mane was allowed to leave the Reds to join Bayern Munich in the summer after six successful years at Anfield.

Mane scored 90 Premier League goals in 196 matches for the Reds - a remarkable record for a player that was often in the shadow of Mohamed Salah given the latter's impeccable goal return. However, the 30-year-old would go on to leave the Reds and moved to Bayern in a deal worth around £35million.
