The Reds icon was absent from recent matches but received a hero’s welcome upon his return to Anfield.
Fans chanted his name just days after accusations of “throwing under the bus” arose when the Egyptian made similar claims.
Ferdinand reacted by challenging his fellow pundit, tweeting: “Thoughts @Carra23? ‘Mo Salah’ being sung by the Kop.”
Carragher swiftly responded, criticizing Ferdinand for his recent endorsement of FIFA, as the former player attended the draw last week.
He also commended Salah, stating: “And rightly so, he was outstanding when he came on.
“What are your thoughts on the cost of the World Cup tickets @rioferdy5?
“A true man of the people would certainly call out FIFA and Infantino 🤷🏻♂️ Or was your paycheck for the draw (acting 🤯😭) enough to keep you quiet? 🤫”
Ferdinand replied, suggesting he was joking, writing: “🎣 🎣”
Carragher mentioned the exorbitant ticket prices FIFA is charging for the 2026 World Cup, with England fans facing significant costs to watch every match if the Three Lions reach the final.
Ferdinand had previously claimed he was a “man of the people” before his appearance at the draw.
He stated: “I consider myself a man of the people because I come from a place where we have always hoped for accessibility.
“I know that the individuals behind the scenes at FIFA are striving toward that goal… whether they achieve it for that event remains to be seen.”
