SportFootballLiverpool FCMohamed Salah released a statement on social media on Saturday appearing to criticise Liverpool and Arne Slot - and Gary Neville has since delivered his reactionGary Neville has admitted he would be "fuming" if he was Mohamed Salah's teammate after the Liverpool forward dropped a bombshell social media statement on Saturday.Salah, 33, who confirmed in late-March that he will leave the Reds at the end of the season, launched a brutal attack on the club and appeared to take aim at Arne Slot following his side's 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa on Friday."I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it."Reacting to Salah's statement, Neville slammed the ex-Chelsea and Roma man, saying it's "not great" and that he wouldn't be pleased if he was his teammate."He's pulled the pin out of a grenade and just thrown it in the middle of the room on his way out," Neville said on Sky Sports News.



"It's not great; if he's a Manchester United player I would be fuming. It was a telling comment."Arne Slot will not welcome that whatsoever, but I think he'll just want to get to the end of the season, get out of there and get everybody out there that's not going to be there next season."[Chelsea] signing Xabi Alonso this morning did tell me that I think Liverpool are going to keep the manager next season, which I'm happy about.

I genuinely think that a manager who's won the league 12 months ago deserves an opportunity to get it right, having had a more challenging season this time, but he's still in the Champions League."It's for Liverpool to worry about their own problems. Slot's side still haven't sealed Champions League qualification and need a win to guarantee their place in next season's competition.Choose Liverpool Echo as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Mohamed SalahLiverpool FCGary Neville
