Liverpool hero Steve McManaman says Mohamed Salah will reject the advances of Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Gary Neville recently stated that he believed Salah was using Liverpool as a stepping stone to join one of the Spanish giants.

"I see his future at Liverpool to be honest," the former Reds midfielder said in his latest column for HorseRacing.net.

"Regarding this whole aura about Real Madrid and Barcelona, I think players are consistently linked with them because they were both considered the best sides in the world back in the day. The best sides are now in the Premier League.

"Four or five years ago everybody was saying 'Real Madrid, Real Madrid, Real Madrid' because they were winning things and they and Barcelona were winning the Champions League every other year.

"The best teams in Europe now are in England, so I don't understand the premise of why you need to go to La Liga at the minute."
