Mourinho favourite Drogba aims sly Salah dig at Man Utd coach

Didier Drogba has taken a sly dig at Jose Mourinho while saluting Mohamed Salah, with the Liverpool forward now considered to be working with a manager prepared to show faith in him.

The Egypt international forward has been a revelation for the Reds this season, with a £36.9 million fee recognised as quite the bargain on the back of a 29-goal return.

Of those efforts, 22 have come in Premier League competition, with the 25-year-old proving to former club Chelsea that they were wrong to limit his opportunities back in 2014.

Mourinho was the man to both sign and sell Salah during a second stint at the Stamford Bridge helm, with the Portuguese’s handling of a promising talent questioned after his star showings in Italy and back in England at Anfield.
