Jurgen Klopp says he has \u201cno worries\u201d over Mohamed Salah\u2019s future at Liverpool despite the winger saying he was\u00a0\u201cdevastated\u201d\u00a0about failing to qualify for the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Salah posted his comments on social media shortly after\u00a0Manchester United\u2019s 4-1 win over Chelsea\u00a0on Thursday which denied Liverpool a top-four finish.<\/p>\n

Klopp\u2019s side will finish fifth and play in next season\u2019s Europa League<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cMo loves being here and Mo was part of it,\u201d Klopp said on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said apologies for what \u2018we\u2019 did \u2013 not apologies for \u2018what the other guys did, but I had to go with them\u2019. It is all fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Egypt international said on Twitter on Thursday: \u201cThere\u2019s absolutely no excuse for this. We had everything we needed to make it to next year\u2019s Champions League and we failed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are Liverpool and qualifying to the competition is the bare minimum. I am sorry but it\u2019s too soon for an uplifting or optimistic post. We let you and ourselves down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Salah, who\u00a0signed a new three-year contract\u00a0\u2013 worth more than \u00a3350,000 a week \u2013 with Liverpool last summer, has scored 19 league goals this season.<\/p>\n

Asked whether he was concerned about Salah\u2019s future at the club following the 30-year-old\u2019s social media comments, the Liverpool manager said: \u201cNo worries, no. I only heard what he said but I couldn\u2019t read anything that could lead in that direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf ever a player would come to me and said, \u2018oh, we didn\u2019t qualify for the Champions League, I have to leave\u2019, I would drive him to the other club myself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would take the key, [and say]: \u2018come in the car, where do you want to go, I drive you\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

United only needed a point at home to Chelsea in the penultimate game of their season to confirm their Champions League place.<\/p>\n

Liverpool won seven of their past eight games in a late push for fourth place, but could not make up for their inconsistent run of form in the first half of the season.<\/p>\n

Klopp said the squad is still \u201creally united\u201d despite the disappointment of missing out on the last Champions League qualification spot.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t point fingers at each other. That\u2019s all good. If you don\u2019t qualify for the Champions League, the best place you can possibly end up is fifth, so that\u2019s what we did,\u201d he said before Liverpool visit Southampton on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019d have asked me 10 games ago if that was possible, I\u2019d have said no. That the boys did that is really good but it\u2019s not perfect.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t end up fifth because of the last 10 games, we ended up there because of the lack of consistency before that.\u201d<\/p>\n
