Luis Diaz's Liverpool arrival has affected Sadio Mane admits Reds boss Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp admits Luis Diaz's arrival at Anfield has "affected" Sadio Mane's game.

Mane, 30, is used to playing on the left of Klopp's front three, with Roberto Firmino or Diogo Jota playing in a central role and Mohamed Salah slotting in down the right. But since Diaz's arrival, Mane has often been deployed as a No9 to accommodate Diaz.

The impact has been obvious. Mane scored twice in Liverpool's 3-2 FA Cup win against Manchester City on Saturday afternoon while playing in a central role. He's also bagged against Norwich, Leeds and West Ham in recent weeks when starting down the middle.
