Liverpool Legend Brands Mohamed Salah As Greediest Player He Has Ever Seen

• Ex-Liverpool player Graeme Souness has accused Mohamed Salah of being the greediest player he has ever come across
• Salah endured a difficult patch of firing blank but broke his goal scoring duck against Man United last night as Liverpool cranked up the pressure on Manchester City in the Premier League title chase
• He now has 42 goal contributions across all competitions this season, topping both Premier League goal-scoring and assists charts

Retired footballer turned pundit Graeme Souness has described Mohamed Salah as the greediest player he has ever seen.

Souness, a former Liverpool defender and manager, made his remarks on the back of Liverpool's comprehensive win over rivals Manchester United with the Egyptian bagging a brace to end his goal-scoring drought.

Salah first scored when he was set up by an incredible assist from Sadio Mane in the first half before adding his second to wrap up the score to inflict a heavy 9 - 0 aggregate defeat on United.

His brace on Tuesday night Salah ensured he became the first player in Premier League history to score five times against United in a single campaign but Souness still stressed the ex-Chelsea winger was greedy.

“He is the greediest player I have ever seen,” said Souness as quoted by Kingfut. “He is a brilliant player but he has been the greediest player I have seen."

“He’s a truly great player, he had the incident with Sadio Mane a couple of years ago where he (Mane) fell out with Salah because he didn’t pass to him. But him not scoring for six games, a minor blip.”
