Watch the summary: Manchester United beat Liverpool 3:4 in the quarter-finals of the Cup, after a crazy turnaround in extra time/Sport1
Former Liverpool stopper Dean Lovren responded to Aigbini Yakubu shortly after the Nigerian visited Mohamed Salah, saying: "He must have tried some new drinks."
The Croatian who hinted that Jacob was drunk, played with Salah for three years in Liverpool.
A few weeks ago, the former Maccabi Haifa was interviewed by the media in Nigeria and caused a mini storm in African football, when he said: "In my eyes, Salah is not a world-class player (freely translated: "at a world level"). He is not good with the ball and most of his goals are scored on Fox."
In Africa there is always fierce competition for the "first place" and Nigeria and Egypt always see themselves as the leading soccer countries on the continent.
Yakubu added: "You can't say that Salah is the greatest African who played in the Premier League. The best Africans in England were Okoche, Droga, Kanu, Yaya Toure, Adebayor and Sadio Mane."
Yakubu played with great success at Maccabi Haifa (and also spent a season on loan at Hapoel Kfar Saba), before breaking into a long career in England.
He moved from Israel to Portsmouth and later also played for teams such as Middlebrough, Everton, Leicester City and Blackburn.

The former Nigerian striker, now 41 years old, scored 95 Premier League goals in 252 games and also played in China, Qatar and Turkey.
He ended his career with a short stint at Coventry in the 2016/17 season, then in League One (third in England).
In the world of football, there is a widespread opinion that the current season will be Salah's last in the Premier League - before moving to Saudi Arabia.
The 31-year-old Egyptian has been playing in Liverpool since 2017 and after he leaves, there will certainly be many discussions about "the greatest African in the history of the Premier League".
