It\u2019s still unclear whether Mohamed Salah will be brought back into the squad when Liverpool return to Premier League action against Brighton on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Should he miss that game, it may turn out that he has already made his final appearance for the club, with the 33-year-old due to link up with Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations on December 15. There has also been speculation about a possible January exit, with Saudi clubs again linked with him. Surprisingly, Manchester United have even been mentioned as a shock destination.<\/p>\n
On Rio Ferdinand Presents, Ste Howson asked Ferdinand whether United should attempt to sign Salah. Ferdinand dismissed the idea of Salah joining their rivals, though he joked that he\u2019d make a public bid.<\/p>\n
Howson: \u201cDo United sign him?\u201d
\nFerdinand: \u201cNo chance\u2026 Mo Salah doesn\u2019t go to Man United.\u201d
\nHowson: \u201cDepends how p**sed off he is.\u201d
\nFerdinand: \u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s got that Wazza (Rooney) streak in him.\u201d
\nHowson: \u201cBut if you\u2019re United, do you poke the bear?\u201d
\nFerdinand: \u201cYeah, I\u2019d make an offer\u2026 and announce it publicly.\u201d
\nHowson: \u201cI\u2019d do it just for the chaos it\u2019d cause.\u201d<\/p>\n
Their exchange was clearly tongue-in-cheek. In reality, a move to Old Trafford is virtually impossible given Salah\u2019s iconic status at Liverpool.<\/p>\n
His profile also doesn\u2019t naturally suit Ruben Amorim\u2019s 3-4-3 setup.<\/p>\n
Salah has netted an extraordinary 250 goals in 420 games for Liverpool, but this season has been more difficult, with only five goals in all competitions after scoring 34 last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
