Rooney says Salah is being selfish and should be denied Liverpool send-off: 'I'd have him nowhere near the stadium'

"I find it sad at the end of what he's done and what he's achieved at Liverpool. It's not the point for him to come out and aim another dig at Slot. "He wants to play heavy metal football, so he's basically saying he wants Jurgen Klopp football. Now I don't think Mo Salah can cope with that type of football any more. I think his legs have gone to play at that high tempo and high intensity."

"If I was Arne Slot, I'd have him nowhere near the stadium in the last game. I had it with Alex Ferguson. I had a disagreement and fallout and at Alex Ferguson's last game at Old Trafford, he left me out of the squad for that reason."

"He's almost just dropped the grenade and said he doesn't trust and believe in Arne Slot and almost thrown his team-mates who are going to be there next season and let them have to deal with that as well and put them into a position."

"Salah took to social media following Friday night's 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa and made pointed remarks about the Reds' tactics that were perceived as a dig at boss Arne Slot, claiming Liverpool should go back to "heavy metal football" that became the trademark of his predecessor Jurgen Klopp."

Mohamed Salah posted remarks after Liverpool’s 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa, criticizing the team’s tactics and urging a return to “heavy metal football” associated with Jurgen Klopp. Salah has announced he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, with his next club still unknown. He is scheduled to say farewell to fans when Liverpool host Brentford on Sunday. Wayne Rooney believes Salah should not be included in the matchday squad, saying Salah’s comments aim another dig at Arne Slot. Rooney also claims Salah’s legs cannot cope with the high tempo and intensity required for that style, and compares the situation to a past fallout involving Alex Ferguson.
