“Sadio Mane winning the Africa Cup of Nations, I’d put him above Mo Salah as well.” Earlier this month, following Liverpool’s 2-2 Premier League draw with City, his manager Jurgen Klopp claimed Mane has become a true club legend.
Klopp said: “Everyone who played for us on the day contributed to an important result, but I did want to pick out Sadio. It was his 30th birthday on the day of the game and he still looks as fresh and vibrant as when he joined this club as a younger professional.
“He is a machine. What he has done for this club and continues to do puts him in the bracket of ‘legend’. For LFC and Senegal he is playing to his highest level possible.”
