Speaking to the ECHO, Rush said he left the club to join Leeds United in 1996 because his starting opportunities were limited in his mid-30s. But Salah was told there was no reason to look for a way out as he was more important than ever. “I want him to sign a new contract, that would be great,” he said. “He had another year after that. He is a great professional and young players can learn from him. I want him to extend his contract. I don’t know what will happen but I’m sure Liverpool fans will love it.”I left because I wasn’t playing regularly. I just wanted to play football. I didn’t want to sit on the bench. It is for you to see. I left here to go to Leeds United because I wanted to play every week.”I saw [Robbie] Fowler and [Stan] Collymore, they worked well together and I didn’t want to be on the bench.” I went to Leeds because I liked football.“But that was my situation and it depends on whether I like being in the bank or not. But Mo isn’t far yet, so there’s no reason to leave just yet.
