JOSE: BLAME BLUES FOR SELLING SALAH

JOSE MOURINHO has laid the blame for Mohamed Salah’s sale firmly at Chelsea’s door. Salah, who has scored 43 goals for Liverpool this season, had an unhappy two-year spell at Stamford Bridge, playing infrequently under Mourinho in 2014. ‘It is another injustice that has been talked about me,’ Mourinho told ESPN Brazil. ‘People say that I was the one that sold Salah and it is the opposite. I bought Salah. I was the one that bought Salah. I was the one that told Chelsea to buy Salah. Chelsea decided to sell him, OK? And when they say that I was the one that sold him it is a lie.’
