Mostafa Younes: Al Ahly should sell Emam Ashour

Mustafa Younis, the former star of Al Ahly FC, sparked controversy with his comments on a picture of Mohamed Salah coinciding with Hossam Hassan's departure from the Egypt national team coaching role. He also directed sharp criticism at Emam Ashour, the star of the Reds.

Younes stated in remarks on the "Stadium Egypt" program, hosted by journalist Abdel Nasser Zidan and broadcast on Modern MTI channel: "Mohamed Salah's mentality does not reach the low level that would make him post this picture after Hossam Hassan's departure. The twins are great stars and have achieved titles that many have not. Those who do not like Salah will consider the picture directed at Hossam Hassan, while his fans will link it to Trabzonspor's victory."

He added: "The only country in the world that insults Mohamed Salah is us in Egypt."

Regarding Emam Ashour's crisis with Al Ahly FC, Mustafa Younis advised the club's management, saying: "If I were responsible at Al Ahly FC, I would sell Emam Ashour and pay the club that wants to sign him, to preserve the dressing room, because Al Ahly FC has been suffering from crises for two years because of him, and I see that he has caused major problems within the club and imposed matters on the management that no one before him could impose."
