Sadio Mane has again poured cold water on suggestions he has a personal rivalry with former Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah.
The two prolific forwards were the main men in Jurgen Klopp's attack for five years before Mane completed a £35million transfer to Bayern Munich this summer.

However, Mane and Salah have repeatedly insisted that there is no ill feeling between them, and that actually they spurred each other on to reach great heights at Anfield. Egypt captain Salah, 30, sent a heartfelt message to his departing teammate in June during which he hailed his long-time colleague as a "brother".
