Rooney, meanwhile, labelled Salah’s actions as ‘sad’ and ‘selfish’ on his own BBC programme the Wayne Rooney Show and called on the influential Egyptian to be dropped from the game that would be his Liverpool farewell."I find it sad at the end of what he's done and what he's achieved at Liverpool,” Rooney explained. “It's not the point for him to come out and aim another dig at Slot."He wants to play heavy metal football, so he's basically saying he wants Jurgen Klopp football.

I think his legs have gone to play at that high tempo and high intensity."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."Mo Salah will play his last game for Liverpool against Brentford this Sunday (AP)Rooney also claimed that he believed Salah’s actions and shots towards Slot were ‘selfish’ and that the manager should keep him away from the squad for Sunday’s Premier League finale.He added: “I think he's been very selfish in what he's done in the two occasions.

It's a shame and fans will be on his side, but I think when you look deeper into it and having been in a dressing room in a similar situation to that as well, Mo Salah knows exactly what he's doing."That's your manager. I really doubt he will do it, but I think he should.”
