Liverpool signed a Mo Salah REGEN from Man United
Whether Mo Salah leaves or whether he departs for pastures new remains but to be seen but the club may already have a regen in their ranks.

The Egyptian star is one of a kind. He is a player who will go down in the history of the club as one of the best players to have ever worn the shirt.

Right now he's still at the peak of his powers, which is why it's so strange the club are yet to extend his current deal which expires in the summer.
But there is still hope FSG and the rest of the Liverpool board come to their sense and work on a compromise with Salah to keep him at the club for the foreseeable future.
Sooner or later though, Liverpool will have to replace him, and there may already be an academy player at the club who could be the ideal successor to his throne.
Why Kieran Morrison plays like Mohamed Salah
Liverpool signed Kieran Morrison from Manchester United at youth level and this deal could go down in history as one of the best the club has ever made at this academy stage with their rivals.
Morrison has blossomed into a really talented player. He was the top-scorer in the U18 Premier League team alongside Jayden Danns last season and this season he has been the star of the U21 side.
On Friday night, Morrison was again the best player on the pitch for the young Reds, and in one moment he showcased why he shares an uncanny resemblance to Mo Salah.
Receiving the ball around the halfway line, Morrison dashed past his opponents using his speed along the right-flank and then in the deceive moment, he cut across into the middle onto his left-foot and unleashed an unstoppable effort into the back of the net.
It's the kind of goal we have seen Salah score time and time again, and it's not the first time Morrison has shown off this ability of his either.
In fact, from his last nine goals, six of them have come from exactly those areas outside and on the edge of the right-side of the penalty area where Salah thrives best.
On top of all of that, Morrison isn't just a brilliant goal-scorer but he's a great creator, the same way as Salah. He averages five assists this season in all competitions for the Reds, and 0.40 per 90 in the Premier League 2, which is around the same as Salah has averaged this season (0.44) in the Premier League.
Morrison only turned 18 years old in November and it's clear he is a special talent. Sooner or later, he will get his first team chance.
But for now he's one to keep an eye on. The way he moves like Salah is uncanny and it should catch the club's first team coaches' attention soon.
