‘Don’t get me started’: Roy Keane’s hilarious comments about Liverpool target at World Cup

Roy Keane has labelled Liverpool’s transfer target, Jamal Musiala, as a ‘wonderful talent’, but it wasn’t before he jibed at England by stating they have had a ‘taste of their own medicine’ regarding the Bayern Munich forward’s option to represent Germany, as he told ITV Sport.

Born in Stuttgart, Musiala represented England’s younger age groups, including playing alongside Borussia Dortmund star, Jude Bellingham.

But he opted to play for the country of his birth – Germany – and Roy Keane couldn’t help but mention how England have taken players from other nations, most notably former Republic of Ireland duo, Declan Rice and Jack Grealish.

Well, whilst England smashed Iran for six in their World Cup opener, including Bellingham opening the scoring and Grealish also getting on the scoresheet, it was a defeat for Musiala on his World Cup bow because Germany suffered a shock loss to Japan.

Nonetheless, Keane spoke highly about Musiala and the difficulty he had to make when choosing between Germany and England.

“He’s a kid, he’s learning his trade and what a place to be learning (World Cup),” said Keane. “It’s nice to see England get a taste of their own medicine.

“They have taken players. Rice and Grealish (Republic of Ireland). Don’t get me started on that.

“It’s not easy (picking Germany over England). You have to respect his decision. But a wonderful talent. There is still potential and we are looking forward to watching him.”

LIVERPOOL’S INTEREST IN MUSIALA

Jurgen Klopp will be working hard behind-the-scenes at Anfield, alongside his coaching staff and club scouts, to bring in fresh faces to the club.

It’s pretty clear that some sort of change is needed, especially in the middle of the park, with Musiala able to play further forward or across a front three.

Now, given that he plays for Bayern Munich, it’s going to be pretty hard to lure the teenager away from Germany’s biggest club, but he would be a seriously, seriously top signing if the Reds could sign him.
