You are destroying your legacy at Liverpool - Rooney tells Mohammed Salah

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has reacted to Mohammed Salah's interview about his current situation at Liverpool under Dutch manager Arne Slot.

Mohammed Salah on Saturday, December 6, 2025, spoke out about "unfair treatment' after Liverpool's 3-3 draw game against Leeds United in the Premier League.

The Egyptian who was an unused substitute in the game at Elland Road poured out his frustrations about his current situation in the club after being benched for three consecutive games.

“I am not bigger than anyone, but I have worked hard for my position. I do not understand why I am being put in this situation. It feels like I am being thrown under the bus, like I am the problem. I don’t believe that.”

Reacting to the comments, Rooney claimed that Salah has rather thrown Liverpool under the bus by making such remarks about the club shortly after the disappointing draw against Leeds United.

“If I was one of his teammates, I wouldn't be happy at all with what he said because this is where Liverpool need him most. If anything, he has thrown Liverpool under the bus with his words. I am sure over the next couple of years he will regret saying what he has,” Rooney said.

The former Manchester United forward further stated that the Egyptian is destroying his legacy at Liverpool.
