Salah dropped a bombshell at the weekend, after Liverpool lost at Aston Villa, when he posted a clear attack on manager Arne Slot, calling for a return to former boss Jurgen Klopp’s trademark ‘heavy metal football.’ The Egyptian wrote: ‘I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on. ‘As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.’ Salah was crucial to Liverpool success under Slot last season (Picture: Getty Images) It is certainly going to be an awkward ending to the relationship between Salah and Slot and Wayne Rooney feels the manager should keep the frustrated forward away from the final game of the season against Brentford at Anfield. ‘I find it sad at the end of what he’s done and what he’s achieved at Liverpool.

I think his legs have gone to play at that high tempo and highintensity. ‘If I was Arne Slot, I’d have him nowhere near the stadium in the last game. I had a disagreement and fallout and at Alex Ferguson’s last game at Old Trafford, he left me out of the squad for that reason. ‘He’s almost just dropped the grenade and said he doesn’t trust and believe in Arne Slot and almost thrown his team-mates who are going to be there next season and let them have to deal with that as well and put them into a position.’ Liverpool fans are unlikely to side with Slot over Salah Getty Images) Fellow Manchester United hero Gary Neville agrees that it was a hugely disruptive attack on the club hierarchy, but says Liverpool have no choice but to play Salah and give him a farewell after what he has achieved with them. ‘It’s a direct attack.
