Jose Mourinho Singles Out This Liverpool Star For Praise Ahead Of Anfield Clash

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, speaking about Liverpool‘s Mohamed Salah ahead of his next premier league game at Anfield on Saturday, said he is not surprised by the player’s superb performances this season, as he was always aware of Salah’s capacities while still at Chelsea.

The talented player joined Chelsea from Basel back in 2014 but was only able to play 13 times in the premier league before he was sold to Serie A side AS Roma.

He helped Egypt qualify for the World Cup last weekend with his brace against Cape Verde, and he is ready to clash with Manchester United this Saturday at Anfield.
