SportFootballLiverpool FCMohamed Salah spoke out once again in the wake of Liverpool's 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa07:37, 18 May 2026Updated 07:39, 18 May 2026Wayne Rooney has slammed Mohamed Salah for his conduct towards Liverpool head coach Arne Slot. He said: "I find it sad after what he's done for Liverpool, what he's achieved at Liverpool."I've been open this season on my thoughts on Salah and Van Dijk, they have been two of the best in world football in recent years but for Salah to aim another dig at Arne Slot, whether he's there next season or not, is not the point.

To aim another dig at him, I think it's really disappointing."I've seen his teammates have liked it and sometimes your teammates like your post without knowing what it is, I've seen it happen before. For him to have another attack, he's talking that he wants to play heavy metal football so he's saying Jurgen Klopp football, now, I don't think Mo Salah can cope with that sort of football, I think his legs have gone, not fully, but to play at a high tempo is difficult for him."To aim another dig after he announced he was leaving, which I didn't agree with, so I think it's just sad.

If I was Arne Slot, I'd have him nowhere near the stadium if I was him."There will be more to follow.
