Gary Lineker responded damningly to suggestions labelling Wayne Rooney as inferior to current Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah.
Rooney is widely regarded as one of the finest British players of all-time, thanks in no small part to the fact he is both Manchester United and England's all-time top goal-scorer. The Three Lions legend also won every honour at club level, including five Premier League titles from his time at Old Trafford.
It is for that reason Lineker took such issue with a claim posted online suggesting that Rooney's legacy was in fact overrated. Twitter user @rohinlfc wrote: "Salah is a way better footballer than Rooney ever was. English tax makes Rooney look better. Rooney lives on that one bicycle kick goal in the derby."
