'No doubt' - Liverpool great believes Mohamed Salah has a 'problem' two club legends never had

Jan Molby has no doubt Mohamed Salah will go down as one of the most celebrated forwards in Liverpool history - but believes a lack of league titles may hand legendary figures Ian Rush and Sir Kenny Dalglish the edge in the all-time Anfield debate.

Salah inspired Liverpool to a resounding 7-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday as he fired a brace against Erik ten Hag's side, and the Egyptian's pair of second half strikes saw him move ahead of Robbie Fowler to become the Reds' highest-ever goalscorer in Premier League history with 129 goals.

The 30-year-old's double, which took his tally against the Red Devils to 10 goals in 11 games since joining in 2017, allowed him to also bridge the gap on Fowler to five in the club's all-time charts, while a place in the top-five appears achievable by the end of the current campaign with former captain Steven Gerrard just seven goals ahead and sitting two places above the Egyptian, who currently lies in seventh.
