The managers are reluctant to pick between two iconic Premier League players, saying both bring obvious qualities to the table

Jurgen Klopp is reluctant to draw comparisons between Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo, but says the Liverpool man has a better left foot and the Manchester United star is stronger in the air - while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he will "always back" his man.

Two world-class performers are set to lock horns on Sunday at Old Trafford.

The eyes of the world will be on the Premier League battle, but Klopp is wary of picking sides when it comes to performers that boast such obvious qualities.

What has been said?

Asked about the similarities between Salah and Ronaldo, Liverpool boss Klopp said: “Why should we compare? Both are world-class. I would say Mo's left foot is better, Cristiano may be better in the air and with his right foot. Speed-wise, both are quick and desperate to score goals but I'm not too interested in comparing, sorry.”

Salah has scored 12 goals in 11 appearances for Liverpool this season, with a couple of stunning solo efforts leading some to bill him as the best player on the planet.

Ronaldo has enjoyed that standing in the past as a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, and has six efforts to his name for United in 2021-22 – including the dramatic Champions League winner against Atalanta last time out.

What about Solskjaer?

The Man United coach was also asked how he compares Salah and Ronaldo at his press conference, and said: "I’ll always back Cristiano in any competition. He’s unique and his goal scoring record is fantastic. That being said, Salah is on fire at the moment and when you see some of the goals he has scored lately, we know we have to be at our best to defend against him.

"Players like this don’t come around very often and we’ve got to enjoy them when we watch them from afar, but not on Sunday, that’s too close for me.

"We’ve got to do a good job, not just against him. I’m a big admirer of the front line they’ve had for many years now with Mane and Firmino and maybe Jota will play, who knows. They are players you have to focus on and have to be nailed on for 95 mins to keep a clean sheet."

Who are favourites?

While Ronaldo helped get United over the line in their latest European outing, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side did fall two goals behind on home soil and Red Devils legend Paul Scholes has claimed Klopp would have been “rubbing his hands” together.

“I was watching game and there was not one second where I was rubbing my hands together,” Klopp said. “Even in the first half, United had three clear-cut chances. Second half was demonstration of United going for it, which can cause problems.”

Many great players at their prime can’t even compare to Ronaldo at 36.

Klopp said Ronaldo is better in everything except with the left foot.

I don't think it is fair or necessary to compare these two guys, considering their playing times in the pitch. their age gap now, the achievements of CR7 to Salah. Salah is yet to come as I personally believe Salah suppose to do better for now than CR7 because of age gap. This is my opinion guys

Hahaha,

in the air

Imagine this rubbish smh

Klopp should not allow himself be drawn into these childish & needless comparisons. He can go ahead & sing the praises of his star player without bringing in any goat into it.

My Own is that Ronaldo no be Salah mate in terms of everything

please compare Salah with someone in his age group.

I'll even choose Mbappe over Salah....

tegrianonigltd:


Mbappe over salah, if salah Dey play French League he go dey score 40 yearly

The only reason you can compare Ronaldo and Salah now is because Salah has age on his side...In that case I'll choose Mbappe or Haaland over Salah because they have Age on their side...

Who be Salah during the reign of Ronaldo

EddyRex:
Salah is 30 years old with 247 goals, C Ronaldo is 36 years old with 795 goals. Salah will need 548 goals in 6 years to match Cr7 record that is he need to score 91 goals in every season good luck for him. But for now GOATINDO GOALDNALDO remaining the GREATEST of all time. Klopp should go Bleep himself.

Don't Forget that Ronaldo haven't stopped Scoring either.....The Gap will keep stretching...

Salah ko Salamalekun ni

He's simply the best for now

Manchester United will smile this Sunday

Lamasta:
Manchester United will smile this Sunday

Lol...I hv never seen a player at age 37 being compared to the one is is claimed as the best presently... Ronaldo is actually the only player other stars wanna b compared with cos it motivates them ... Halaand, mbappe, vinicius , Lewandowski now salah ....its like Ronaldo's achievements inspires them

Ronaldo is the best player ever.

Career wise Ronaldo is undoubtedly better.

Both based on current form, NO player comes close to Mo.
