Mohamed Salah is facing criticism from his Muslim followers once again after sharing a photo of a Christmas tree - but has also received plenty of praise and support.

The Liverpool and Egypt star has made it an annual tradition to share a Christmas tree photograph and message despite his Muslim faith.

This year, the 33-year-old shared a photo of his daughters Makka, 11, and Kayan, five sat next to a tree with baubles and a huge red ribbon attached.

Like last time, his simple message was '#MerryChristmas' - but that statement of goodwill was enough to start a storm on social media.
