Liverpool Owners 'Decide' Who to Back in Mohamed Salah and Arne Slot Saga

Liverpool's owners have made their stance clear on Arne Slot in the wake of Mohamed Salah's seismic interview, according to a new report.

Liverpool squandered a two-goal lead against Leeds United to draw 3-3 on Saturday.

Hugo Ekitike scored a quick-fire brace after the break, with Leeds bagging two quick goals themselves to level proceedings.

Dominik Szoboszlai put his side back in the lead before Ao Tanaka equalised deep, deep into stoppage time.

But the Premier League fixture was overshadowed by Salah's sensational post-match interview, having been an unused substitute at Elland Road.

The 33-year-old claimed he has been 'thrown under the bus' by Liverpool and his relationship with head coach Slot has broken down.

The timing of Salah's interview has been questioned by fans and critics alike, including Michael Owen, given pressure is mounting on Slot amid Liverpool's struggles this season.

Liverpool have lost nine of their last 15 games across all competitions, including crushing defeats to the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City.

But, according to The Times' Paul Joyce, Fenway Sports Group wants Slot to come through this rough patch and has shown no sign of wavering on that.

However, 'patience will not be limitless' but results will ultimately dictate the Dutchman's future at Anfield, not Salah 'stamping his feet', per Joyce's report.

Salah, who has scored five goals this season, has been named on the bench for Liverpool's last three games, having been a regular fixture in Slot's XI.

He was dropped against West Ham United and played no part in their 2-0 victory at the London Stadium.

The star forward came on at the break against Sunderland, who held Slot's side 1-1.

And, as mentioned, the Egyptian didn't feature against Leeds on Saturday.

Salah, who is set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations on December 15, plunged his Liverpool future into doubt as he suggested that next Saturday's game against Brighton could be his last for the club despite signing a bumper new two-year deal in April.

Liverpool, meanwhile, return to action next Tuesday when they resume their Champions League campaign against Inter Milan.
