Owen Hargreaves makes bold Mohamed Salah Liverpool claim and Cristiano Ronaldo comparison

Former Manchester United star Owen Hargreaves believes Mohamed Salah remains one of the Premier League’s best players and has backed to continue to score goals this season.

Salah has scored nine goals in 14 games this term - but just three of those have come in the Premier League. The most recent of those came against Manchester City at the weekend.

The 30-year-old has played a number of different positions across Liverpool’s forward line so far this season, but despite that, Hargreaves thinks Salah will score plenty of Premier League goals this season and has claimed the forward is a 'joy to watch'.

“[His ability] never went anywhere!” Hargreaves told Premier League Matchday Live. “It was a slow start and sometimes the numbers dry up, even for the great ones.

“See that even with [Cristiano] Ronaldo this season. Look, Mo Salah is one of the best players in this league by a country mile. He’s a joy to watch, he can play everywhere.

“This guy is one of the greats and the goals will come towards the end of the season. You can guarantee that.”
