"I speak a lot to Mo Salah,"
Mo keeps saying why did you score so many goals? He is thinking he might break my record.
"He would have to be there a good few more years if he is going to break that record. He plays a bit more of a wide role now. I don’t think he has scored as many goals but I think he made just as many assists this year.
"He has become more of a team player. A couple of years ago, he was maybe being a little selfish. But in the last two years, he has become more of a team player. And I think he is making just as many assists as he is scoring goals."
Rush admitted he would be delighted to see Liverpool's No.11 topple him in the all-time rankings as long as he equates to collective success at Anfield.
"Good luck to him," added Rush. "If he does it, he does it. I don’t care as long as he is winning things. There is no point doing that if you are not winning trophies.
"He can have that as long as they win a trophy"
