(Reuters) - Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is not surprised by Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah's exploits in the current campaign and said the decision to sell the Egyptian to Roma in 2016 was made by the London club. Salah joined Chelsea under Mourinho in 2014 but failed to establish himself at Stamford Bridge and was loaned out to Fiorentina and Roma before a permanent move to the Stadio Olimpico outfit in 2016. "People say that I was the one that sold Salah and it is the opposite," Mourinho, who currently manages Manchester United, told ESPN. I was the one that told Chelsea to buy Salah... Salah has scored 43 goals across all competitions this season and is in contention to win the European Golden Boot.
