Wayne Rooney, former Manchester United star, confirmed that Egyptian star Mohamed Salah is "destroying his legacy" with Liverpool through his recent statements criticizing the club and coach Arne Slot.

Rooney called for a "bold" decision to exclude Salah from the team, stating that he should not be included in the lineup for the upcoming matches, including the games against Inter Milan in the Champions League and Brighton in the Premier League.

Rooney's attack came after Salah's remarks following Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds United, during which he was benched for the third consecutive match, clearly indicating that his relationship with the coach and the club has deteriorated.

Rooney considers these comments to be arrogant and disrespectful to his teammates, coach, and fans, and they create a negative atmosphere in the locker room.

Rooney believes that Salah's decline in performance this season is the real reason behind Klopp's tactical decisions, and that Salah completely mishandled the situation in terms of media communication.

Rooney advised the coach to assert his authority and exclude Salah to send a clear message to the entire team, emphasizing that Salah would regret his statements.
