Sadio Mane: Controversial choice as his all-time hero

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has spoken warmly about new £34million signing Sadio Mane after admitting he’s settled into the club nicely.

Mane joined the Reds earlier this summer and has very quickly made a positive impression on his new manager.

“Everything is good,” Klopp told the club’s official website. “We are really happy about the transfer.

“We knew a lot about him as a player and we knew a little bit about him as a human being, good news. As a human being, he is better and nice as a player and everybody can see how he is as a player.

“It’s good for us, the squad. Everyone likes him. He likes the club, he likes the other players and he likes to work high quality. Today [he was] a little bit tired. Obviously, no problem – that’s how it is. All good.”
