Sadio Mane has revealed he turned down Manchester United once Jurgen Klopp came calling and made it known he wanted the Senegal star to sign for Liverpool.
Mane made a £34m move to Anfield from Southampton in the summer of 2016 and has gone to have a huge influence on the side Reds boss Klopp has built.
But the forward has admitted to former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher that he had a contract agreed with bitter rivals United before Klopp, who had tried to sign him previously when he was in charge of Borussia Dortmund, picked up the phone.
