Former Liverpool midfielder Jason McAteer has called on Mohamed Salah to “do more off the pitch”, despite making a winning return to the team in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion. Salah earned a rapturous reception when he made his way onto the Anfield turf after 26 minutes, and was treated to a similar ovation at full-time as he bid farewell to supporters before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

McAteer admitted he was impressed with Salah on Saturday, but in the aftermath of his contentious interview, hopes the Egyptian utilizes his experience to best help the team.

“You look at the senior player, it’s not just how are you on the pitch, but it’s what you’re doing off the pitch.” Salah appears to have, at least partly, repaired his relationship with Slot (Image: Lewis Storey, Getty Images) Meanwhile, fellow ex-Red Stephen Warnock feels Salah’s interview could help the team to recalibrate after a difficult start to the season. “There's a microscope on the football club,” Warnock said on BBC Sport’s Final Score.
