ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAYThe 33-year-old took a thinly-veiled swipe at Arne Slot over the head coach’s style of play and the calamitous season that the Reds have endured, whilst also claiming that anyone who comes to the club ‘should adapt to’ the ‘identity’ of ‘heavy metal’ football.Gary Neville and Steve Nicol have both been critical of the winger over his public statement, and the former Everton and Manchester United striker has called on the Dutchman to administer a firm punishment to our number 11.Rooney: Salah should be dropped over social media commentsSpeaking on The Wayne Rooney Show, the 40-year-old claimed that Salah should be dropped from the matchday squad for Liverpool’s game against Brentford next Sunday, even though it’s set to be his final appearance for the Merseyside club after nine incredible years.(Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images)The pundit said: “I find it sad at the end of what he’s done and what he’s achieved at Liverpool. 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 a disagreement and fallout and at Alex Ferguson’s last game at Old Trafford, he left me out of the squad for that reason.”Rooney added: “I think he’s been very selfish in what he’s done in the two occasions. It’s a shame and fans will be on his side, but I think when you look deeper into it and having been in a dressing room in a similar situation to that as well, Mo Salah knows exactly what he’s doing.“That’s your manager.
