Footballer Mo Salah deletes all social media presence

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has deactivated his social media accounts after he posted a cryptic message on Twitter.

He tweeted yesterday: “2019 Resolution: Time to get in touch, for real”, and then seemingly deleted both his Instagram and Twitter accounts where he had 23 million and 7.7 million followers, respectively.

Naturally, fans of his took to social media to express how they felt:

One user even turned it into a verb:

Some are left wondering if it's a possible hint at changing clubs:

However, it seems all this might have come from Salah wanting to focus more on his team and helping them win the league.

The star forward has recently come under fire for what some people view as diving.

He's been accused by opposing players, pundits and fans for taking to the ground too easily so it's understandable that he may have wanted to avoid distracting comments on social media.

Who knows how long this blackout will last?
