Salah is destroying his legacy – Rooney

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is destroying his legacy, says former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney

Salah said on Saturday he felt like he had been “thrown under the bus” by Liverpool and that his relationship with head coach Arne Slot had broken down.

Rooney believes that Slot must now show his authority and not involve Egypt international Salah in Tuesday’s Champions League game at Inter Milan or next Saturday’s home match with Brighton.

“Arne Slot has to show his authority and pull him in and say ‘you are not travelling with the team, what you said is not acceptable’,” said Rooney in his latest podcast episode.

“Take yourself off to Afcon and let everything calm down. If I was him there would be no way he would be in the team.”

Rooney said Salah needed to either iron out his differences with Slot, or leave Liverpool.

“It needs to be sorted out quickly either way,” he added.
