Mohamed Salah was recalled for Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Brighton (Picture: Getty) Gary Neville says he expects Mohamed Salah to stay put until the end of the season after the forward made his return for Liverpool in the side’s 2-0 win over Brighton. Now I'm sitting on the bench and I don't know why.

I don't know why, but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn't want me in the club.' On whether Saturday's game against Brighton could be his last Liverpool game: 'In my head, I'm going to enjoy that game because I don't know what is going to happen now. I don't know what is going to happen when I am there.' On whether he regrets signing a new contract last season: 'Imagine how bad that I have to answer it, honestly.

I thought I'm going to renew here and end my career here, but this is not according to the plan.' On transfer interest from the Saudi Pro League: 'I don’t want to answer this question, because the club is going to take me to a different direction.' Salah was sent on in place of the injured Gomez in the first half (Picture: Getty) ‘Look, I’m not neutral in this in the sense that I’m obviously a Manchester United fan,’ Neville told NBC Sports when asked what the future holds for Salah following Liverpool’s 2-0 victory. ‘But if I’m talking about it from a Premier League perspective, I think it was a smart move yesterday for Liverpool and Arne Slot to get Mohamed Salah on the pitch to diffuse the situation. ‘It was at boiling point after his interview. ‘I’d like to think he’s going to go away and they’re going to come – or they have come – to some form of compromise, that yesterday wasn’t a lap of honour of him leaving, it was more of a case of him going to AFCON and then he can come back and play for Liverpool. ‘However, nothing would surprise you.’ Neville has a ‘gut feeling’ that Salah will stay at Liverpool (Picture: Getty) Liverpool fans showed their support for Salah in the win over Brighton (Picture: Getty) The Saudi Pro League has long been mooted as a possible destination for Salah, with Al Ittihad making an unsuccessful £150million bid for the Egypt international back in September. Situations like that did happen so maybe he will leave. ‘But my gut feeling is that he stays this season at Liverpool.’ Speaking to Sky Sports after Liverpool’s victory, Slot insisted it was an ‘easy decision’ to recall Salah, the third highest goalscorer in the club’s history. ‘What’s been said between the two of us, I’ve said many times, for me that stays between us,’ the Liverpool head coach said. ‘He was back in the squad and we needed him.’ It was an ‘easy’ call to bring Salah back, says Slot (Picture: Getty) On Salah’s performance, the Dutchman added: ‘He was a threat, the first ball he touched he almost gave an assist to [Alexis] Mac Allister. ‘He was constantly involved, pleasing but also not a surprise because he’s done that many times.’ Liverpool will look to make it three wins on the bounce in all competitions when they return to Premier League action away to Tottenham next weekend.
