Egyptian international Mohamed Salah also scored a goal for Manchester United, making a significant contribution to the three-goal win.
The match marked his third consecutive game scoring since the start of the season, proving that the 32-year-old is still the ace of the team.When interviewed after the traditional match, Egyptian King suggested that this season may be his last at Liverpool.
He also revealed that the club had yet to offer him a contract extension, and in some media reports the last season part was cut out, as if Salah had decided to leave.
However, a look at the content shows that he talks about his current contract and has not made a decision. If anything, the comments have been received with surprise, for better or worse, as if he was pressing Liverpool to start talks on a contract renewal.
Fellow Colombian international Luis Diaz also reacted to the comments, assuming that he respects the 32-year-old right winger’s decision, and also said that it would be a great loss for his teammates and for the club.
“It would be hard for us, as well as for Liverpool,”
“It will hurt a lot, he has a year to think about it, it is not easy at all.”
“He always talks to us, it would be very hard to lose a player as key as he is. It is the team-mate’s decision and it is respected, hopefully he doesn’t leave.”
