Former Liverpool midfielder Luis Garcia is questioning why "no-one is talking" about one aspect of Mohamed Salah's form this season.

The Reds have dominated the Premier League this season, sweeping aside all challengers, including their fiercest rivals, Manchester United. Ruben Amorim's side, languishing in 14th place, faced the daunting task of a trip to Anfield on Sunday, a ground where its struggles against Liverpool have been all too frequent.

One major hurdle United must overcome is containing Salah. The Egyptian King has been the Premier League’s standout performer this season, contributing to an incredible 30 goals in just 18 games so far this season.

Salah’s record against the Red Devils is particularly impressive, as he statistically enjoys facing the Old Trafford club more than any other, registering 15 goals and six assists on his record across 16 career games against United.

Garcia has thrown his support behind Salah as a potential winner of the 2025 Ballon d’Or, a sentiment echoed by former United defender Rio Ferdinand. Despite not being nominated for the 2024 edition, Salah’s form this season has reignited discussions about his credentials as one of the world’s best players.

Speaking to ESPN FC, Garcia endorsed Ferdinand’s view, expressing his belief that Salah’s consistent brilliance could earn him football’s most prestigious individual honor.

“It’s not that bold but I would like to see Mo Salah winning the Ballon d’Or,” says Garcia. He hasn’t been in the conversations lately, we’ve been talking a lot about Rodri, about Vinicius Jnr and Lamine Yamal’s introduction as a possible Ballon d’Or winner and no one is talking about Mo Salah and what he’s been doing.

“17 goals, 13 assists so far this season. He has the chance of winning the Premier League, the Champions League and being one of the most important players in Europe.

“He’s one of the most in-form at the moment and I would like to see him lifting that trophy.”
