FootballMo Salah: Liverpool Star Donates Shirt Worn In 5-0 Win Against Man United To Animal Charity In Egypt
- Salah showed his love for animals by offering his matchday shirt for auction
- The Egyptian’s shirt that he wore during Liverpool’s 5-0 win over Manchester United will be put up for the highest bidder
- The proceeds, according to Salah, will go towards an animal charity in Egypt
Liverpool superstar Mohammed Salah has announced on Twitter that he is willing to donate the shirt he wore in his side’s 5-0 demolition of Manchester United to an animal charity for auction.
Salah was the star of the show in that derby as he bagged a hat trick that saw Liverpool completely outclassing their opponents at Old Trafford.
Prior to his goals, Liverpool was well on course for victory courtesy of goals from Naby Keita and Diogo Jota.
Salah would then go on to complete the rout with a hat trick between 38th and 50th minutes.
Taking to Twitter on Thursday, November 18, Salah said:
“I will be donating, for auction, the jersey I used in the match of 24 Oct. 2021 against Manchester United, with all proceeds of the auction to go to an animal charity in Egypt. I will let you know where and how to bid.”
“Kindness to animals is the duty of every human being,” the Liverpool star went on.
While no further details of the auction have been released, it is highly likely that the shirt will go for a stupendous price to the highest bidder.
Of Superstars and matchday shirt auctions
It is not strange to see football superstar’s items being auctioned for a great cause.
More recently, Cristiano Ronaldo’s shirt which he wore in the win over Tottenham Hotspur and the 2-0 derby loss to Manchester City were put up for auction to raise money for the Royal British Legion.
According to Daily mail, bidding for the shirt in the Spurs win had reached a whopping £36,000 (KSh 5.4 million).

FootballSalah the superstar
Having recently been voted the Premier League player of the month for October, Salah has certainly stamped his mark as one of the most lethal players in the world at the moment.
His rise to the pinnacle of the game has seen him subjected to some awkward moments in his native Africa in recent games, as he was mobbed on two separate matches during the international break.
The first was during the clash in Luanda, Angola, when three fans stormed the pitch to try to get a selfie with the Egyptian superstar.
Days later and Gabon players also wanted a piece of the superstar and mobbed him during an AFCON qualifier clash for the chance to get a selfie and perhaps his shirt as well.
