Clinton Morrison has said on Sky Sports News (2:10pm, September 18, 2021) that he would now take Mohamed Salah over Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane.

The former Crystal Palace forward has said that Salah’s goalscoring record is frightening.

The Sky Sports pundit has added that he used to think that Senegalese forward Mane was the best player in the Liverpool attack, but he now thinks that Salah is better.

Morrison said about Salah on Sky Sports News (2:10pm, September 18, 2021): “Him playing on the right-hand side, to get that many goals is frightening, to be fair. He is not even an out-and-out no.9.”

The Sky Sports pundit added: “Before I used to pick Mane, now I have gone back to Salah.”

World-class footballer

Salah is a winger/forward who does not start centrally for Liverpool.

The Egypt international tends to start on the right and then cuts inside.

Salah gets past people with ease, and his finishing is superb.

The 29-year-old has scored 101 goals in 163 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

Mane has scored 98 goals in 234 appearances in the Premier League in his career so far.

Salah is now the main goalscorer for Liverpool and could end up winning the Golden Boot award this season.

The former Chelsea man has scored four goals and provided two assists in five Premier League matches so far this season.

The 29-year-old scored 22 goals in the league last season, 19 in 2019-20, 22 in 2018-19 and 32 in 2017-18.
