Mohamed Salah is currently joint top scorer of the Premier League with Harry Kane on 24 goals, and he revealed his relationship with fellow frontmen Firmino and Mane.

There is no animosity between Salah and Liverpool strike partners Firmino and Mane. In fact, the Egyptian has revealed how the other two members of the Reds front three are going out their way to help him win the Premier League Golden Boot for top scorer.

"As a person, they are great, they try to help me, now that they know I am in a position fighting for the Golden Boot," he told Sky Sports. "They give me every ball, they try to help me. They try to make me score every goal, they even let me take the penalties. They always try to help."

"It's not competition against us, it's for us, as we want the team to win, to get the team points, so we all want to score," Salah added. Liverpool face Manchester United on Saturday, with the forward coming up against former boss Jose Mourinho. But Salah is not one to hold a grudge.

"He is very smart, he plays the game very well. I worked with him for one year, I know how he works," he said. "The game is like any other game, we need the three points. But they are second, we are third, there is big competition between us. I hope the game is open, and we enjoy the game, but it will not be easy."
