RON ANOTHER LEVEL TO MO
Graeme Souness claims Cristiano Ronaldo is ‘on another level’ to Mo Salah – if you compare their overall careers.
But on current form the pundit would pick the Liverpool striker, 29, over 36-year-old Mancheser United’s frontman.
Ronaldo and Salah square off on Sunday in a crunch Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
United need to win to keep pace with their fierce rivals, while a win for Liverpool will see them go within one point of table toppers Chelsea.
Ronaldo has enjoyed a fine start to his second Red Devils spell, scoring six goals in eight games under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
However, Salah has been in even better form, netting 12 times in 11 matches.
Souness has now revealed he would pick Salah over Ronaldo if choosing a team to put out today.
But based on longevity in the beautiful game, the Liverpool icon insists Ronaldo remains head and shoulders above his counterpart.
Souness told Sky Sports: “You can’t compare the two, it’s not just about the last three months.
“There is an argument for Salah being the best player in the world in these three months of the season.
“Ronaldo has got an argument, Ronaldo could sit in any room with any player from any generation and say I’ve been the best player in the history of the game.”
