Salah is destroying his Liverpool legacy, says Rooney

Rooney warns Salah's public criticism after being benched for three games risks overshadowing his 250 goals and legacy at Liverpool, urging manager Arne Slot to act.

  • On Dec 8, 2025 Rooney said `He is absolutely destroying his legacy at Liverpool,` condemning Mohamed Salah's post-match outburst on his BBC show.
  • Salah has been benched for three matches, including the 3-3 draw at Leeds United, ahead of his Dec. 15 Africa Cup of Nations departure, which Rooney called premeditated and protective.
  • Having signed a two-year contract extension earlier this year, Mohamed Salah has made 420 appearances for Liverpool FC since joining from Roma in 2017 and scored 29 goals last season.
  • Rooney urged Arne Slot to exclude Mohamed Salah from Tuesday's trip to Inter Milan and send him to AFCON, warning his criticism could unsettle new players and pressure Liverpool's squad.
  • Rooney warned Mohamed Salah will likely regret the comments, noting Salah ranks among Liverpool legends and that any damage to his future legacy is especially significant.
