“There has to be one that’s unselfish and one who is selfish, otherwise you are never going to get any goals,” Michael Owen once said to ESPN FC. The former Liverpool striker and UK-based pundit was actually referring to the recent argument between Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.
Mane was noticeably upset when substituted in a 3-0 victory over Burnley. He was seen remonstrating after Salah failed to pass him the ball when he was in a goalscoring position on several occasions.
“I was always at my best with Emile Heskey — he was really unselfish and I was a really selfish so-and-so,” Owen continued.
