Wayne Rooney Warns Mohamed Salah: ‘He’s Destroying His Legacy At Liverpool!’

Mohamed Salah has found himself in the center of a storm after launching a fiery outburst toward Liverpool, claiming the club has “thrown him under the bus.” While fans are still trying to process the shock, Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has added fuel to the fire, insisting that Salah is “absolutely destroying his legacy” at Anfield.

Salah’s numbers speak for themselves — over 250 goals, a Champions League title, multiple Golden Boots, and nearly a decade of world-class contributions. But despite signing a fresh two-year deal in 2025, tensions have risen sharply after he was left on the bench for the third straight match.

Following Liverpool’s dramatic 3–3 draw against Leeds, Salah admitted that his relationship with manager Arne Slot has broken down. He even hinted at the possibility of a farewell during Liverpool’s upcoming match against Brighton before leaving for AFCON duty.

Rooney, speaking on his BBC podcast, was stunned by Salah’s comments. He argued that Slot must assert control immediately, saying:
“Arne Slot has to pull him in and say, ‘you’re not traveling with the team.’ What he said is not acceptable.”

Rooney didn’t stop there. He warned that Salah is risking everything he worked hard to build:
“He is absolutely destroying his legacy at Liverpool. It would be sad to see him throw it all away. He’s gone about it all wrong.”

According to Rooney, no player — no matter how legendary — is above fighting for their position. He made it clear that Salah’s statement that he “shouldn’t have to fight for his spot” was not only arrogant but disrespectful to the squad, the manager, and the fans.

Rooney added:
“Time catches up with all of us. This season he hasn’t been at his sharpest. Instead of speaking out, he should roll up his sleeves and show everyone why he deserves to play.”

As the football world debates who is right and who is wrong, one thing is certain — Liverpool’s dressing room will be feeling the tension. Whether Salah can repair his relationship with the club or whether we’re witnessing the beginning of the end remains to be seen.

One thing is clear — this story is far from over.

Bilic previously managed Croatia between 2006 and 2012, guiding the national team through two European Championships before embarking on a successful club coaching career that included spells with West Ham United, West Bromwich Albion, Besiktas and Al-Ittihad. The federation believes his experience and deep understanding of Croatian football make him the ideal candidate to lead the next generation. ## Huge task replacing Zlatko Dalic Bilic succeeds one of the most successful managers in Croatia’s history. Dalic stepped down after the 2026 World Cup, bringing an end to a remarkable tenure that included a World Cup final, a World Cup semi-final and several memorable tournament campaigns. Federation president Marijan Kustic acknowledged the size of the challenge but expressed complete confidence in Bilic. > “I would like to once again thank Zlatko for the exceptional results he achieved during his tenure. It is not easy to follow in his footsteps, but we are convinced Slaven is the right person for this role.” Kustic added that Bilic’s international pedigree and extensive coaching experience were decisive factors behind the appointment. ## Bilic honoured to return Bilic described his return as the greatest honour of his coaching career and admitted he understands the expectations that come with leading one of international football’s most consistent tournament teams. > “I would like to thank President Kustic and the Federation’s leadership for the confidence they have shown in allowing me to lead the Croatian national team once again — the greatest honour for any Croatian coach.” The 57-year-old also praised the standards established under Dalic while insisting he is ready for the responsibility. > “I am fully aware of the high expectations that follow such a remarkable period under Zlatko Dalic, but anyone who takes charge of Croatia must be prepared for that because we are a football nation that lives and breathes its national team.” ## A new chapter begins Bilic now faces the task of building on Dalic’s legacy while preparing Croatia for the next international cycle. With a blend of experienced stars and emerging young talent at his disposal, Croatia will hope their returning manager can guide them to another successful era on the international stage.
