Former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys has claimed that Liverpool stars Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah deeply dislike each other before suggesting that Virgil van Dijk could be off this summer. The 62-year-old published his thoughts via his personal blog on Monday morning and naturally, his comments have angered Liverpool fans all over the world.
Keys was forced to resign from his position at Sky in 2011, having been at the centre of the sexism scandal which saw Andy Gray sacked. However, despite the fact he left the British media quite some time ago his latest views haven’t gone unnoticed.
Is Richard Keys just trying to keep himself relevant?
Yes
No
Here’s how some of the Anfield faithful have reacted to his post.
The man just has a big mouth!

If we don’t get worked up over reading articles written by these people, they’d stopped. They wanted reaction and they got them, spread it to all our mates and they went hunting for it in the net.. So why are we still helping these people?

Deluded bloke who is a lazy pundit way beyond his time.

What do we think?
It’s clear judging by the responses of these fans that they’re not impressed by what Keys has had to say. Liverpool are closing in on their first Premier League title and although his comments have upset those who follow the Anfield giants, in our view, it’s unlikely the players in question will be distracted by rumours of disharmony within the squad.
