There are two distinct sides to the debate. Has he earned the right to speak out as a true club icon? Or is manager Slot justified in doing what he believes is necessary to try to win matches? Fan opinion seems split: “United fan here. If I’m not mistaken, Salah was PFA Player of the Year 6 months ago and now he’s the main target. This is no way to treat a club legend.” “Perhaps we should take a moment to have sympathy for Mo Salah? He must have forgotten that he is presently Liverpool's highest ever earning player... A victim, Mo, you are not.” What next for the Egyptian king, then? Speculation suggests his bridges at Liverpool may now be burned. Could he seek a loan to a club abroad?
