England and Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has criticised Mohamed Salah, saying the forward is putting his Liverpool reputation at risk with his recent remarks.
Following Liverpool’s 3-3 draw against Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday, Salah expressed frustration, alleging that the club had “thrown him under the bus” and hinting at a breakdown in his relationship with manager Arne Slot.
Rooney, speaking on his latest podcast, questioned the need for Salah to go public with such claims.
“He is absolutely destroying his legacy at Liverpool,” Rooney said. “It would be sad for him to throw it all away. He’s gone about it all wrong.”
He also called on Slot to make a strong disciplinary decision by omitting Salah from upcoming matches, including Tuesday’s Champions League clash at Inter Milan and the weekend’s Premier League tie against Brighton.
“Arne Slot has to show his authority and pull him in and say ‘you are not travelling with the team, what you said is not acceptable.
“Take yourself off to Afcon and let everything calm down. If I was him there would be no way he would be in the team.
“It needs to be sorted out quickly either way.”
