Former Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney says Liverpool should consider dropping Mohamed Salah for the club’s season finale, following what Rooney describes as “selfish” criticism. Both outlets report that Rooney has questioned Salah’s approach after the winger publicly commented on Liverpool and its new manager, Arne Slot. Rooney’s position is that Slot should not include Salah in the match as a response to the criticism, framing it as inappropriate for a player associated with the club’s current setup.

The reports focus on Rooney’s remarks and his view that Salah’s comments have created a negative dynamic at a time when Slot is leading the team. They do not provide details of Salah’s statements, the specific criticisms made, or confirmation that Slot has acted on Rooney’s advice. The articles also do not include responses from Liverpool, Salah, or Slot regarding whether the player will start or whether any disciplinary or selection issues are being considered.
