Wayne Rooney raves about Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah

Former England striker Wayne Rooney has showered heaps of praise on Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah ahead of Sunday’s Merseyside derby clash.

Rooney has included Salah in his best Everton and Liverpool XI he has played with and against while writing in his column for The Sunday Times.

The former Everton striker feels that the 28-year-old winger has been playing at the peak of his form, and has compared his impact for Liverpool with that of Cristiano Ronaldo’s impact during the Portuguese’s time at Manchester United.

While Rooney feels that Salah doesn’t put enough defensive shifts but he is a threat for opposition defenders and midfielders.
