Mo Salah’s masterful display at Old Trafford on Sunday was a clear reminder that he still has so much more to give to Liverpool, even beyond this season.
After the match, the Egyptian forward made a surprising statement, hinting that this could be his “last year” with the Reds, as his current contract is set to expire next June. While his revelation cast a slight shadow over Liverpool’s impressive 3-0 win against Manchester United, it couldn’t fully diminish the joy of the victory.
Salah’s performance was nothing short of brilliant. His goal in the match brought his tally to three in as many games this season and an astounding 15 in 16 appearances against Liverpool’s fiercest rivals. One particular moment late in the game captured the essence of Salah’s brilliance and the impact he continues to have on the team.
In the 89th minute, with Liverpool looking to clear their lines, the ball was launched out of defense. Salah, showing his sharp awareness and technical skill, watched the ball’s flight carefully before executing a flawless first touch, laying it off perfectly to Dominik Szoboszlai. The midfielder, capitalizing on Salah’s precision, charged forward into open space, continuing Liverpool’s dominant display.
Salah’s ability to produce such moments of magic, even in the dying minutes of a match, highlights why he remains one of the best in the world. His contributions to the team are immeasurable, and the thought of him leaving Anfield is something that Liverpool fans understandably dread.
Mo, if there’s any chance you’re reconsidering, know that you’re still at the peak of your powers, and you truly belong at Anfield!
