Steve McManaman says his hunch has changed over Mohamed Salah's Liverpool future.

The former Reds and Real Madrid midfielder believes it is "ominous" that the Egyptian has not been contacted by the club.

The 32-year-old was once again involved as Liverpool moved 13 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.



His latest assist was the 17th of the campaign in the league, as he sits seven clear of Bukayo Saka and Mikkel Damsgaard.

Along with captain Virgil van Dijk, there is a particular desperation from Liverpool supporters to tie down the Egyptian to new terms amid the prospect of losing the record-breaker at the end of the season - as well as the Dutchman.

McManaman sat down with Salah in the build-up to the visit of Eddie Howe's side.

I think the club will only have contact with Mo when everything is arranged and agreed with his agent, but I still feel personally, myself - I don't know anything that nobody else knows - that he will stay.

"I hope he does because if he does and continues to be successful and has individual success, he's in the right place.

He wants to break records and this is the place to break records continually.

"If he has to catch Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney, this is the place to catch them.

I think Alan Shearer is out of contention because Big Al's too far away, but if he wants to catch the others this is the place to be."
