Former Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has admitted that he was asked to encourage Sadio Mane to join the Reds instead of Liverpool.
Schneiderlin joined United from Southampton in 2015. While on the South Coast, the Frenchman played alongside Mane who was enjoying a brilliant campaign for the Saints.
With several teams interested, Schneiderlin was instructed by Louis van Gaal to convince the Senegalese international to move to Old Trafford. However, as he told the Players Pod, Mane had other ideas.
