According to a Monday BBC Sport article, Rooney feels that Slot needs to demonstrate his authority by refusing to include Egypt star Salah in either Tuesday’s Champions League match against Inter Milan or the home game against Brighton on Saturday.

“Arne Slot needs to assert his authority, pull him in, and tell him that what he said is unacceptable and that he is not traveling with the team.”

“Go to Afcon and allow things to settle down.” He wouldn’t be on the team if I were him, Rooney stated in his most recent podcast.

Salah had to settle his disagreements with Slot or quit Liverpool, according to Rooney.

“In any case, it must be resolved quickly,” he continued.
Rooney questioned why Salah, who moved from Roma to Liverpool in 2017, would make his remarks public.

The five-time Premier League champion continued, “He is absolutely destroying his legacy at Liverpool.”

He would be heartbroken if he threw everything away. He’s approached it completely incorrectly.
