"I agree with Jurgen Klopp that Mohamed Salah has been the best player in the world this season," Liverpool legend Graeme Souness wrote in his column for The Sunday Times.
"He is perhaps as greedy a player as I have seen. All the top names have an element of that but he is extremely selfish.
"Personal targets are important to him and he shoots from every possible angle, which frustrates his teammates at times — especially Mane.
"The other players accept it because he is so good. When he doesn’t square it, he is either scoring or making goalkeepers work so that the follow-up is a tap-in for someone anyway, which makes it hard for anyone to criticise him.
"He may even take it as a compliment that I think he is the most selfish player I have seen because he is a goal machine."
It looks like Salah stepped up a level this season: he has scored in 10 out of 11 games he has played across all competitions for the Reds, a run that includes two braces in the Champions League.
Mo will surely hope to keep it up against Man United against whom he has scored 'only' four goals in eight games.
