In Liverpool's 3-0 away win over Manchester United in the current round of the Premier League, Egyptian star Mohamed Salah not only scored a goal, but also contributed two assists, showing excellent athleticism. However, Salah's comments after the match have sparked widespread concern. He hinted that this could be his last season with Liverpool, news that will undoubtedly make Reds fans worried.
In response to Salah's future destination, former Liverpool striker Sturridge gave his opinion in an interview with Sky Sports. When asked if Liverpool might let the decorated player leave the team, Sturridge looked quite surprised: "I would be surprised, very surprised." He confessed that Salah's achievements at Liverpool no longer need to be described, but he valued Salah's happiness and fulfillment on the pitch even more.
"I think Salah has obviously achieved everything he can, but I've never seen him so happy." Sturridge continued, "Judging by his performance in this game, he looked very happy and smiled so much. Such a state of mind is very important for a player, it allows the player to be more comfortable on the field."
Therefore, Sturridge did not hide his expectation for Salah to stay in the team: "Honestly, I really hope he can stay. Salah is an important member of Liverpool and his departure will have a huge impact on the team. I hope the club can do their best to retain him and let him continue to play for the Reds."
