Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah MOCKS Man Utd after Champions League exit
MOHAMED SALAH has taken a huge dig at Manchester United after their Champions League exit tonight.
Mohamed Salah in action at Old Trafford
The Red Devils were sent tumbling out of the competition after a shock 2-1 defeat to Sevilla, Liverpool’s group stage opponents.
Wissam Ben Yedder came off the bench to score twice in four minutes, with Jose Mourinho’s side unable to mount a comeback despite Romelu Lukaku halving the deficit on 84 minutes.
The Portuguese boss came in for huge criticism after full-time for a timid display in front of their own fans, with United deservedly eliminated.
And Salah took the opportunity to take a swipe at Liverpool’s bitter rivals on his Instagram story.
The Egyptian winger uploaded a picture of him in training at the club’s Melwood training ground with the Champions League trophy looming large in the background, just moments after United were knocked out.

Salah was ineffective in Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to their rivals at Old Trafford on Saturday with Ashley Young man-marking him throughout and preventing him from cutting inside on his favoured left foot.
Full-back Young mocked Salah on Instagram after that game, posting a picture to his story with the caption: “Stop asking me! He’s not in my pocket, I swear he’s not.”
But the 32-goal winger had his revenge by laughing at United’s meek European failure.
Salah even tweeted: "The UCL draw can't come soon enough."

Liverpool will learn of their quarter-final opponents on Friday.
Manchester City are the only other English team confirmed to be part of the last eight with Chelsea needing a result away at Barcelona on Wednesday night to progress.
Liverpool have already faced Sevilla in Europe twice this season, drawing 2-2 at home before an eventful 3-3 away draw in which they surrendered a three-goal lead to the La Liga side.
