Manchester United legend Gary Neville has singled out two of Liverpool’s most irreplaceable players after watching their convincing 3-0 win away to Leeds yesterday.

Neville was full of praise for Mohamed Salah in particular, however, as he put in an eye-catching display to help Liverpool to the win.

This is high praise for Salah and Van Dijk, who are undoubtedly world class talents, though they’re also in a squad containing other elite names like Alisson, Sadio Mane and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Van Dijk was badly missed by Liverpool last season, however, while Salah was one of the only players who really kept up his best form as the likes of Mane and Roberto Firmino let their high standards slip a little.
