Bombshell reports have emerged today from Spanish outlet Don Balon and, if true, will set shockwaves through Anfield.

Real Madrid have earmarked Salah as a potential target for the summer transfer window amid doubts over Cristiano Ronaldo’s long-term future.

However, it has been claimed Manchester United are willing to chance their arm at the Liverpool star in what would be one of football’s most shocking deals.

Salah has experience of playing under Jose Mourinho before, though it did not work out too well.

Mourinho signed the 25-year-old during his time at Chelsea, with Salah toiling at Stamford Bridge. Since then, however, both men have changed.
