Pundit claims Salah would be a bigger miss than Mane amid uncertainty over their futures
Mohamed Salah would be a bigger miss to Liverpool than Sadio Mane according to Tony Cascarino.
Mane has reportedly told Liverpool that he intends to leave the club this summer, with Bayern Munich his most likely destination.

Salah’s future is also uncertain, with the Egyptian currently unwilling to sign a new contract with the club on the current terms that are being offered.
Both Salah and Mane are out of contract at the end of next season, and with departure likely, Cascarino believes the plyer who is more committed to staying is the one Liverpool should look to keep.
Speaking on talkSPORT, the former Chelsea man said: “I would still go Salah, only slightly, but if Salah wanted to leave more than Mane I’d let Salah go.
“That’s how I feel. I’d want the one who is most committed to stay, and hopefully both of them feel that way.
“He seems to have this real belief.
“I believe that Salah is a player who will always cause problems for teams because defenders hate playing against them. He wants to run behind them.

“Even when he’s not playing well, he’ll still do the things that make him such a great player.
“He sometimes mis-controls things, but he never stops trying to do it and that’s what Klopp really loves about him.
“There isn’t a switch-off with Mo Salah. He always wants the ball, always, and that’s what stands out with Salah.
“I don’t think he’s been the best player in the world in the second half of the season.
“He got 22 goals in 27 games before the Chelsea game at the turn of the year, so he was absolutely flying, and then after that he’s got nine in 27.
“Salah allows Trent [Alexander-Arnold] to get in positions of danger. Mo does that brilliantly for him, their relationship is incredible.
“It goes a little bit under the radar because we talk about their individual ability, but as a team, they work in tandem brilliantly.
“They’re as good together as any full-back and winger that I’ve seen in the game.”
