Rooney says Salah should be dropped for Liverpool's final match
Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has criticised Mohamed Salah for his recent comments about Liverpool’s playing style. Salah publicly called for a return to the tactics of former manager Jürgen Klopp, which many saw as a criticism of current boss Arne Slot. Rooney believes these remarks were out of line and has suggested that Salah should not play in Liverpool’s final game of the season. He compared the situation to his own experience of being left out by Alex Ferguson after a disagreement.
