Salah gave two signed-jerseys for both supporters with personalised messages.
Speaking to the ECHO about his trip to Melwood, Mike said: "I was outside the changing room, between where they get changed and where they go to get their boots, and my cousin just kept saying 'Klopp! It's Klopp! He's coming!'

"I was just talking to them like I knew them - they were just like my mates. Shaqiri had a big smile on his face and said he had seen my video."

He added: "Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was there and I was joking with Rhian Brewster saying 'do you wind him up putting loads of Little Mix on in the changing rooms?'."

He said: "I literally met every player except Trent because he's had a knock. I met Fabinho, Alisson - I thought they would need a translator for me!

"When I saw the video I thought 'I needed them subtitles'.

"It's a good early Christmas present. I've been sitting on my hands since [I found out about the visit]. I've just been waiting to be able to tell people about it."
