Dean Saunders' reaction
“Right now, as we speak, who’s better than him?. Eight goals in eight games from right-wing, he’s not playing down the middle.
“He just looks unstoppable. There’s Messi and Ronaldo, who are on their own, but right now they’re not as good as Salah.”
Lionel Messi on the other hand scored his first goal for Paris Saint-Germain in their 2-0 win over Manchester City in the Champions League.
Since making stunning return to Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored four goals for the Old Trafford landlords and he is aiming to continue shining for the Red Devils.
