Gary Neville gives his verdict on the touchline row between Mo Salah and Jurgen Klopp as the Man United legend insists “there will only be ONE winner” of the fiery clash.

Gary Neville has opened up on the touchline row that saw Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah clash with manager Jurgen Klopp at the weekend.

Liverpool’s title quest took another blow on Saturday when they were held to a point by West Ham, drawing 2-2 despite having a lead in the match and needed a win to keep their faint hopes alive of title.

The Reds’ season – and Klopp’s farewell tour – is unfolding before their eyes, with what was a potential quadruple now appearing to be little more than a Carabao Cup in terms of trophies won in the final season under the German.

Their problems were highlighted at the London Stadium this weekend when Klopp and Salah were visibly angry with each other before Salah was introduced as a substitute, with Darwin Nunez having to step in and separate the two centerpieces from Liverpool’s last decade.

Neville, speaking in the latest episode of his Sky Sports podcast, gave his verdict on the ordeal and, despite his loyalty to Manchester United, was not happy to see the Liverpool pair feuding.

The two Reds had a heated exchange before the striker was introduced for the game against West Ham.

Salah warned reporters there would be “fire” if he spoke about the incident immediately after the match.

“It’s unpleasant when you see (this between) an incredible manager and an incredible player,” he said. “I had that at Manchester United a few times.

“There is only one winner, but the problem is the manager is leaving, which helps Salah a bit.

“I think there might be a little problem if this were to continue for the rest of the season. Two massive personalities and characters.

During the clash, which occurred with just over 10 minutes remaining, Salah was seen waving his arms, pointing at Klopp and continuing to berate his manager before Nunez, also signed at the same time, n ‘intervenes.

The two initially shook hands before Salah began to express his frustrations and the situation became heated.

Afterwards, Salah told reporters waiting in the mixed zone at the London stadium: “If I speak there will be fire.”

Klopp insisted a line had already been drawn over the incident following a discussion in the dressing room at full-time, with footage showing the Egyptian blanking his boss on the pitch after the match.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, writing on X, also gave his assessment of what happened.

Neville suggested there would only be one winner of the clash who had a similar experience as a player.

The incident saw Salah wave his arms and exchange words before Darwin Nunez intervened to separate the two.

“Mo Salah and Jurgen Klopp are both LFC legends,” he posted. “We don’t need to take sides!”

“Salah is frustrated and angry with Jurgen for not playing and at that moment he didn’t want to fully embrace the boss, Jurgen naturally objected.

“Mo was stupid with his comment in the moved (mixed) zone but let’s let them sort it out and enjoy the last few weeks together.

“They helped each other enormously in everything that was achieved at the club!

Neville, meanwhile, insisted there was a problem with Salah’s game, with the striker finding himself on the bench for the West Ham game, with Harvey Elliott starting in his place on the right of l Liverpool attack.

The striker has struggled to find form since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations and disappointed against Everton in midweek, with the Reds losing 2-0 to their local rivals.

The pundit highlighted Salah’s struggles in the game, while also suggesting what could be wrong with his performances, comparing him to another Premier League star.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher said Salah was “stupid” for making the comment, but suggested the two men would settle their differences.

“I was at the Merseyside derby and played a lot of games for Liverpool recently and Salah is not up to his level,” he said. “He was an incredible player and he still is an incredible player, but he was completely out of the picture in the Merseyside derby.

“I mean, he didn’t touch the ball in the first half. What was remarkable was that he was right in front of me against Mykolenko, I don’t remember him winning the ball. I think we showed he had about five to six hits after about 30 minutes.

“Salah has just hit a brick wall. You have to be careful, there was a player here (in the north London derby) called Son (Heung-min) who I think hit a brick wall probably about 18 months ago, where he had the He seemed to have disappeared and he was in trouble.

“These players play so much football that they play so consistently and Salah has almost always been there for six or seven years. There just comes a time when you need a break.
