'Sit down and shut up’ - Manchester United great Roy Keane slams Liverpool's Mo Salah

Manchester United icon Roy Keane told Mohamed Salah to 'sit down and shut up' after he showed his displeasure at being substituted for Liverpool against Chelsea.

The Anfield attacker was replaced in the 77th minute of the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge and made his feelings clear at the decision. Salah trudged to the bench, threw his arms up in the air and proceeded to rip tape off his wrist and throw it to the ground.

Salah's actions were met by a chorus of mocking cheers from the home fans but did not impress Keane. Whilst the former United captain had no issue with Salah's disappointment, he felt his public response to coming off was unprofessional.

“I think it’s fine if a player comes off like that but don’t keep doing it on the bench," he said. "You see him off the pitch with his arms in the air - just sit down and shut up.

"You have to take it. You can be upset, fine, but don’t drag it out. I’ve seen a lot more players that are better than Salah get taken off and they’ve been fine."

Jurgen Klopp poured cold water on the incident after the match, saying he had little issue with the reaction.

Klopp said: "I can understand because if Mo scored it would have been a new record for goals scored in the opening game but I didn’t think about that. We needed stability and we needed fresh legs. It was super intense for everybody.

"That’s all I can say about it, his reaction was absolutely okay. When I sub a player and he is jumping into my arms at 1-1 and he is a striker who thinks he will score, I would be really surprised so that’s absolutely fine."

The transfer window is in full swing and United have got their hands on three players well in advance of the September 1 deadline, with Rasmus Hojlund joining Mason Mount and Andre
