Steve McManaman has confessed he wants to see Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson have a word with Mohamed Salah to sort out the uncomfortable situation at Liverpool. "I think that's the important part in the coming hours and days," he told TNT Sports when questioned about how Liverpool resolves the matter.

I'd have a word with him if I'd known him for that long saying, 'Oi, this is not good for you, and it's not good for the team going forward.' "This has to be nipped in the bud before he goes to AFCON. Will he come back in January?' This needs to be nipped in the bud now before he goes because it will not do anybody any good if it carries on over the next six weeks."

Normally, that affects players as well because he's [Salah] been so influential for the club and the players, so it's never nice when something happens to their teammates." Van Dijk, meanwhile, commented: "It's not up to me to say who should apologize. It's [Salah] airing his feelings.
