This happens all the time.
I've hardly seen him play, so I don't really have much of an opinion, but quick attacking players who can score goals are always welcome in theory.
I think Egypt & Senegal can only both qualify for the AFCON if Utd win the Europa League again and Leicester are relegated; there are no other combination of circumstances that would result in them both qualifying.

At this rate of improvement, If we ask you again in 20 minutes, you're going to fucking love this guy.
'A great signing!!!!!!'
a player with pace is welcome addition to the squad.
Salah (who has pace) is a meh signing.
Only if Utd win the EL and finish 6th in each of those years.
Liverpool have agreed personal terms with Mohamed Salah but are yet to agree a fee with Roma

Mohamed Salah will cost Liverpool their joint-transfer record
Liverpool look to have moved closer to signing Mohamed Salah after Sky in Italy reported personal terms have been agreed - although a fee is yet to be agreed with Roma.
It is understood Salah met with Jurgen Klopp in Liverpool in the last few days and that an agreement in principle has been reached with the player and his representatives.
However, no talks have taken place with Roma since Liverpool had an initial £28m offer rejected and the Reds are also looking at other options, including Lazio winger Keita Balde.
Salah scored 19 goals for Roma last season as they pushed for the Serie A title
Roma's American chairman, James Palotta, told US radio station SiriusXM that, "for the moment, there is nothing with Liverpool. We'll see what to do".
If the deal goes through, it will equal Liverpool's current transfer record paid to Newcastle for Andy Carroll in 2011.
Former Chelsea forward Salah joined Roma for £13m last summer following a season-long loan the season prior.
Salah's career at Chelsea never got going and he was sent out on loan to Fiorentina before joining Roma, for whom he scored 19 goals in 39 appearances last season as they pushed for the Serie A title.
Jurgen Klopp has already signed Dominic Solanke and wants Virgil van Dijk
If he moves to Anfield he will become Liverpool's second signing of the summer window, following Chelsea's Dominic Solanke.
Solanke is set to join the club on July 1 when his contract with the Premier League champions expires for a fee expected to be in the region of £3m and set by tribunal.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is also understood to be interested in Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk, whom Sky sources believe will cost any suitors in excess of £50m.

We pass go and move straight into the Super Cup and become Europe's representatives in the World Club Cup.
You're standing on a desert island screaming 67% while everyone else is sailing off on a boat looking back at you, wondering where it all went wrong and what, in hindsight, they might have done.
Meanwhile, you're in a football forum trying to talk about football.
I'm not sure who's in the more perilous position.

Mohamed Salah to Liverpool: How can Roma signing improve them?
By Adam Bate
Last Updated: 06/06/17 6:25am
What qualities could Mohamed Salah bring to Liverpool next season?
Liverpool look set to make their first major transfer acquisition of the summer with the £35m purchase of Mohamed Salah from Roma. But how good is the Egyptian winger and how will he fit in to Jurgen Klopp's team? Adam Bate takes a look...
Memories of Mohamed Salah's previous spell in English football are unlikely to conjure up too much excitement on Merseyside. However, the 24-year-old would not be the first to depart Chelsea after a handful of games only to become a Premier League star elsewhere. Kevin De Bruyne? Romelu Lukaku? It could soon be time to add Salah to that list.
So where has he been?
After featuring intermittently for Chelsea at the start of their Premier League title-winning campaign under Jose Mourinho, Salah embarked on a loan spell at Fiorentina in 2014/15. He scored nine goals in 26 appearances, impressing enough to attract the attention of Roma.
A one-year loan spell in the Italian capital followed before penning a permanent deal with Roma in August of last year for a fee of £15m. Now 24, Salah is set to return to the Premier League for more than twice that money with 81 Serie A appearances to his name.
Salah terms agreed
Liverpool have agreed personal terms with Roma winger Mohamed Salah.
How did he do at Roma?
Salah's stay in Rome has been a stunning success. He was named as the club's player of the year in his first campaign and has impressed again in the season just gone. Luciano Spalletti, Roma's coach at the time, described him as "irreplaceable" in March.
The Italian went even further following the winger's role in a 4-1 away victory over AC Milan last month. "Salah is an exceptional player," said Spalletti. "He is the best player I've coached in my career." Not bad praise given the veteran coach's lengthy CV.
Salah enjoyed a sensational season for Roma in Serie A in 2016/17
How good are his stats?
Salah's assist against Milan was one of 11 in Serie A last season. Only Napoli's Jose Callejon (12) produced more but he had an extra 662 minutes on the pitch. Salah's creativity was no fluke either - he played 71 key passes, more than any other Roma player.
The Egyptian has also developed into a reliable goalscorer in Italy. His tally of 19 goals in all competitions last term was the best of his career to date and this is trending in the right direction in each of the past four seasons since making the move to Chelsea.
Klopp sees progress
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is optimistic about the club's future with Champions League football back at Anfield.
What are his strengths?
Salah's most notable asset is his pace. A left-footer on the right, he can beat his opponents on the inside or the outside. Defences hate his directness but it's also his instinct for goals that helps too - whether it's popping up at the back post or darting through on goal.
His finishing has improved, too, with Salah's trademark move being the calmly slotted low strike with his left foot into the far corner. He has also found the net with his right foot and head this season and is as happy following up rebounds as he is firing off long-range shots.
Will he fit in at Liverpool?
Jurgen Klopp's team like to utilise the counter-attack and Salah can add to Liverpool's effectiveness in transition. Sadio Mane has been a huge asset for the Reds since his arrival at Liverpool because, as Klopp says, he "gives width and space" and Salah can do the same.
As Liverpool icon Phil Thompson said of Mane: "Klopp needed someone with great pace behind the front man. He has electric pace and a great football brain too. Because he can see things with the pace he's moving at, it means he's had a massive impact on this team."
Liverpool have a far superior record with Sadio Mane in the starting line-up
So why do they need him?
Liverpool's fixture list is expected to be rather fuller next season with their return to European competition and they will be hoping to play as many as 15 matches in the Champions League alone. A deeper squad is going to be needed regardless.
However, Mane was particularly missed when not in the starting line-up - as was the case in 19 of Liverpool's matches last season. Klopp's men became too predictable in their build-up play, lacking the penetration that Mane could provide. Salah can deliver that too.

I have it the exact other way round.
Van Dijk is the bee's knees, Salah might be a fire fly in a pan, I fear.
Reading between the lines, we are once again low balling.
We went in with a €30m offer - Roma wanted €45m
I'm guessing the next bit, however from previous experience we have probably structured a deal closer to €35m and submitted it - Roma not being impressed have come back and said they want €45m (you may see a Roma have rejected a second bid statement from Italy soon if this is true).
However in the mean time, leaked reports state that Roma will accept €40m. What we are scared of is that we offer €40m and Roma still come back and say they want €45m.
Just fucking pay it already. We low balled him once and lost him.
The mane deal was done so quickly because the player was on the verge of joining spurs - had completed his medical etc. but was stallling on the wages being offered
He's "not for sale". Along with every other RB Leipzig player we want.
Why? He doesn't seem to be anywhere near as productive. Has 16 goals in 72 appearances. Not terrible, but Salah got more than that this season for Roma.
Because he won't be away for 6 weeks every two seasons mainly.
Also because he didn't fuck us over a few years ago.
That's unfortunate but he wants to go, or is open for a move according to the Swedish press.
