Mohamed Salah looks set to leave Liverpool (Picture: Getty) ‘There’s no way Mo Salah goes to Man United,’ Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel. ‘I don’t I don’t think he’s got that trait in him that Wazza [Wayne Rooney] or [Carlos] Tevez had where he goes the extra mile. ‘But yeah, I would make an offer, a public one as well! 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.' ‘But I think he’s gone, it’s gone too far.

Manchester United and England legend Rooney believes ‘time has caught up’ with Salah and branded his outburst as ‘arrogant’. ‘Time catches up with all of us, and this season he hasn’t looked as his best, at his sharpest,’ Rooney added. ‘You want to see him roll his sleeves up and say “ok then, I’ll show you”. ‘To have the arrogance to say he doesn’t have to earn his place because he has already earned his place, you need to be at your best every week to try and stay in the team. ‘If I was one of his team-mates, I wouldn’t be happy at all with what he said because this is where Liverpool need him most. ‘If anything, he has thrown Liverpool under the bus with his words. He’s been absolutely incredible for Liverpool, but this was disrespectful to his team-mates, manager and fans. ‘I would imagine he will be very quiet around the training ground and that will bring a negative energy in itself to the new players Arne has bedded in. ‘I am sure over the next couple of years he will regret saying what he has.’ Reigning Premier League champions Liverpool face Brighton on Saturday in their final game before Salah departs for AFCON.
