Jamie Carragher urges Manchester City to resolve Premier League allegations for reputation's sake

The 47-year-old Carragher who is now a pundit for Sky Sports said: “Manchester City don’t want this, supporters don’t want it, the Premier League don’t want it.

“It’s not good when we’re talking about one of the best teams of all time in the Premier League – and manager – and there’s this asterisk above it until this is sorted out.

"My message to Manchester City would be: this needs to get sorted sooner rather than later, for your own reputation. There’s no doubt about it, if they’re found guilty of all this then everything would be tainted.”

Carragher has recently been in the news for claiming the Africa Cup of Nations is not a major tournament last month.

was talking about current Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah, and why he felt he wouldn’t win a Ballon d’Or award.

The Egyptian Salah routinely represents his nation at Afcon, while other stars like Kylian Mbappe play in the Euros. Though he was trying to get that point across, Carragher haphazardly gave his assessment of Afcon.

“I think the problem is the fact he's with Egypt, and he's probably not playing in the major tournament as such or maybe got a great chance of winning,” said Carragher.
