Gary Neville admits he was completely wrong about Mohamed Salah's abilities.

In the past, Gary Neville didn't have the highest opinion of Mohamed Salah. As a former Manchester United legend and football pundit, he openly admitted that his assessment of the Liverpool superstar was completely off the mark. Salah has proven himself to be one of the best players in the world, playing a crucial role in Liverpool's success in the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup.

Since joining the Reds from Roma in 2017, the 32-year-old Egyptian winger has been nothing short of exceptional, scoring a remarkable 220 goals and providing 98 assists in 365 games. Neville, on the other hand, had believed that Salah would leave Anfield three to five years ago and never expected him to score so many goals or be as brilliant as he has been.

During an interview with The Overlap US, Neville shared, "I thought he would leave three, four, or five years ago. I never imagined he would score as many goals as he has or be as incredible as he is." This statement only goes to show how wrong Neville was about Salah's potential and talent.

In addition to this, Neville also gave his thoughts on a cryptic social media post that Salah uploaded on Instagram after Liverpool's 2-1 win over Brighton. The post, which included a photo of Salah celebrating a goal at Anfield, seemed to hint at his uncertain future with the club.

Salah's contract with Liverpool will expire at the end of the season, and there have been reports that he may be leaving the club. When asked about the Instagram post, Neville stated, "I'm not sure. Maybe he's trying to send a message to the club that he wants a better contract." He also added, "Perhaps he's saying, 'You should value me the same way as top players at other clubs.' Of course, he already has a substantial salary, but maybe he's looking for a longer contract or a better deal that he deserves."

Neville also shared his thoughts on the possibility that Salah's message could be a sign of discontentment, even though he seems happy at the club. He explained, "It's possible that he's trying to convey that he's not completely satisfied, even though he's happy at the club. Maybe he's trying to send a message to the fans that something isn't quite right." It is clear that Neville believes there may be more to Salah's post than meets the eye.
