Al-Ahly's former director of soccer has dismissed suggestions that the Egyptian team is pursuing a transfer for Mohamed Salah. "Linking Salah to Al-Ahly is a media effort, and he's a player who has honoured Egyptian football and all Arabs.

I wish Salah success." Salah has recently been partially blamed for Liverpool's poor performances, with Wayne Rooney criticizing the forward and club captain, Virgil van Dijk. On the BBC's Wayne Rooney podcast following Liverpool's 3-2 defeat to Brentford, he commented: "This can happen to teams and it can get them and it will creep up and then all of a sudden you're like, 'Where did that come from?' "You're probably sitting here thinking three or four weeks ago, no one saw this coming.

Van Dijk and Salah have signed new deals and whatever but I don't think they've really led that team this season." When asked about his reasoning behind these beliefs, Rooney added: "Just performances and body language. It's so difficult, you don't know how to get out of it.
