Manager of Manchester United, Jose Mourinho, has said that he is worried about the threat carried by Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah
Liverpool and Manchester United face off today and the Merseyside team will need to win against their old rivals if they want to get back to the top of the Premier League with Manchester City’s win against Everton putting them back on top.
Speaking about his former charge, Mourinho said that he is a threat that has developed so well
“He has developed incredibly well at every level,” Mourinho said
“Physically, an amazing development. He was a fast, fragile boy and now he is a fast, strong man.
“He was psychologically not adapted, coming directly from a small club in Switzerland [Basel] to a big club in the Premier League.

“It was too much. I remember I played him at White Hart Lane and at the Etihad and it was too much for him.
“Now he plays everywhere against any team – he can go to Barcelona, can go to Madrid and he plays like, ‘I am Mo-Mo Salah and I am afraid of no one and nobody’.
“He is a fantastic player, completely different from the potential player we bought from Basel to Chelsea. He was a projective player and now he is one of the best players in the world.
“I think the fact that I know him does not help me because I knew the projective player and now he is a top player.”
Mourinho added: “Every match we try to analyse opponents, we try to analyse the strengths and the weaknesses of the opponent, and when you go to Liverpool they have many strengths, but of course he is nuclear in the strength.”
Manchester are currently 8th on the table and a defeat will just pile misery and add to an already sad season for the reds.
