And since making a return to the Premier League, Mohamed Salah has been impressive for Liverpool winning the Champions League and topflight titles.

According to the report on Mirror and GOAL, Eddie Newton stated clearly that it was personality clash that Jose Mourinho had with Salah.

Eddie Newton's reaction

"For me, I think Salah and De Bruyne wasn’t about talent. It was a personality clash with Jose Mourinho. I just didn’t think it was working at the time.
"I think they were more than good enough, but it was the manager who didn’t see eye-to-eye with them, so it wasn’t going to work.''
