‘To me, he is in an amazing position right now.’

Madrid did not reinforce their attack in the close-season and have struggled to achieve their usual potency, with Gareth Bale battling injury and Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema lacking form.

Asked by an Egyptian journalist at the Club World Cup about the 25-year-old, Zidane said: ‘Salah is great player, [he has] shown that at Roma, now Liverpool.

‘He is still young, improving all the time. I don’t talk much about other players, but he is a player I rate a lot.’
