Mohamed Salah is considered one of the biggest legends in the history of Liverpool, and has been one of the best players in the world of football. Salah has been active at Liverpool since 2017, and he has done a massive job at the club. He remained one of the key players of the team for the last eight seasons.

But unfortunately, the Egyptian International has not been up to the mark this season so far, and Liverpool manager Arne Slot had to make the bold decision by showing him the bench. After remaining on the bench for back to back three games, Salah expressed his frustration of getting benched, and he criticized decision openly.

Mohamed Salah's recent comments left the world of football completely spellbound, and he has also made it clear that he does not want to play for Liverpool anymore. It can be expected that he would leave the club in the winter. Manchester United legend and former English International Wayne Rooney recently spoke with BBCSport, where he discussed the situation by saying the following;

"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'. He is absolutely destroying his legacy at Liverpool. It would be sad for him to throw it all away. He's gone about it all wrong.

He continued, "Time catches up with all of us, and this season he hasn't looked as his best. If I was one of his team-mates, I wouldn't be happy at all with what he said because this is where Liverpool need him most. If anything, he has thrown Liverpool under the bus with his words."

Liverpool fans are also not happy with the statements delivered by Mohamed Salah. He still has a large fan base at Liverpool, and they still want him at the club. So, Liverpool fans have also divided into two sides regarding this incident. But chances are very low that the 33 year old ultimately stays at Liverpool after the winter transfer window.
