Wayne Rooney has launched a scathing attack on Mohamed Salah, urging Liverpool manager Arne Slot to banish the Egyptian superstar from the squad for the club\u2019s final Premier League match of the season.<\/p>\n
In strong comments on The Wayne Rooney Show<\/em>, the Manchester United and England legend labelled Salah\u2019s recent public statements as \u201cselfish\u201d and accused him of dropping a \u201cgrenade\u201d into the Liverpool dressing room by questioning the team\u2019s direction under Slot.<\/p>\n Rooney didn\u2019t hold back, stating:<\/p>\n \u201cIf I was Arne Slot, I\u2019d have him nowhere near the stadium in the last game. I had it with Alex Ferguson. I had a disagreement and fall out\u2026 He\u2019s almost just dropped the grenade and said he doesn\u2019t believe in Arne Slot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The former Everton striker believes Salah\u2019s actions show a lack of respect for the current manager and could damage team morale heading into the Anfield finale.<\/p>\n The row stems from Salah\u2019s social media post following Liverpool\u2019s recent defeat, where he appeared to criticise the team\u2019s style of play under Arne Slot. The forward called for a return to J\u00fcrgen Klopp\u2019s high-intensity \u201cheavy metal\u201d football, which many interpreted as a direct swipe at Slot\u2019s more possession-based approach.<\/p>\n Rooney described the move as arrogant and damaging to the squad\u2019s unity, especially as Salah prepares to depart Anfield after deciding to leave the club a year early.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wayne Rooney has launched a scathing attack on Mohamed Salah, urging Liverpool manager Arne Slot to banish the Egyptian superstar\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":52228,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4650],"tags":[1317],"class_list":["post-52227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-premier-league","tag-wayne-rooney"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52227"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52227\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52229,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52227\/revisions\/52229"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}What Did Wayne Rooney Say About Mo Salah?<\/h3>\n
