Wayne Rooney is worried about Mohamed Salah and believes that Virgil van Dijk should intervene at Liverpool

Rooney is worried about Mohamed Salah, who was often decisive earlier this season, but the last duels cannot leave his mark on the team of Slot, he says in The Wayne Rooney Show.

“What does Salah now think of the players who have come, Isak (150 million euros) Ekitike (95 million euros) and Wirtz (150 million euros), and the money spent for those men?” Rooney wonders that aloud.

The former star of Manchester United thinks that Salah’s ego has been hurt. “Top players have an ego, and Mo Salah has been one of the best players in the competition for a long time. I think last week has shown that if it goes well, you make goals and wins, the team tolerates it, but last week I have my doubts about his work ethics.”

Wayne Rooney appeals to Virgil van Dijk

Rooney believes that experienced players as goalkeeper Alisson Becker (33) and captain Virgil van Dijk (34) should intervene because Salah (33) is not sufficiently defined against Chelsea (2-1 defeat).

“Van Dijk and Alisson – I know he didn’t play against Chelsea – the leaders in the dressing room should tell Salah that he should help them. That was a point of care for me. Salah saw a bit lost last week, in my opinion.”
