England football legend Wayne Rooney urged Liverpool coach Arne Slot to demonstrate strong character.

According to the former striker, the specialist must ruin Egyptian Mohamed Salah's farewell match with the "Reds" club.

"You cannot publicly disrespect your coach. If I were A. Slot, I would tell the player not to even think about stepping onto the field for Sunday's match.

Now I really doubt that will happen.

I think the coach must act this way," explained W. Rooney.

This weekend, Liverpool will play their last Premier League match of the season when they host Brentford.
