Former Manchester United and Portugal winger Nani has heaped praise on esteemed Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah for his “incredible” performance over the years.

Two of the biggest clubs not only in English football but in World Football as well. Hardly will one see a compliment from each quarters – not to talk of a positive one.
The Red Devils and the Reds have locked horns many times in high-profile fixtures over the decades, sharing plenty of titles in the process.

“He’s an incredible player and he knows what he’s doing,” said Nani.
“You see, this is the type of player – when he goes inside of the field, he knows what his power is, and he always tries to use it.
“His speed, his way of finishing the opportunities close to the box, and that’s why you’re always there – to score a goal, or sometimes you can cannot score but he’s always there to assist the players.
“So he knows exactly what you said – assists and goals is his game, because you don’t see him creating to come down and make the team play and the possession.
“No he’s always there in this position to receive the ball and try to beat this opponent and go for goal, it’s always a chance when he starts running with the ball.”
Salah’s contract expires at the end of the season, and Liverpool are yet to agree on a new deal as speculations circle over a possible move to the Saudi-rich League.
