Your support makes all the difference.Sadio Mané has settled his differences with Mohamed Salah after their on-pitch fall-out at Burnley earlier this month.
Mané was visibly angry with Salah towards the end of Liverpool’s 3-0 victory at Turf Moor when his team-mate chose to shoot rather than pass to him on one late counter-attack.
The Senegal international voiced his frustrations as he was substituted a few minutes later, complaining to captain Jordan Henderson about Salah’s apparent selfishness.
Jurgen Klopp played down claims of a falling-out between the pair after the game, and Mané has now confirmed that he and Salah have buried the hatchet.
“With Salah? It’s forgotten,” he told Canal+. “Sometimes you have to say things face to face.
“These are things that happen in football, sometimes it happens that I am not given the pass. But we have reconciled and become the good friends we were before.”
Mané and Salah were forced to share the Premier League’s Golden Boot award last season, along with Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, after each scoring 22 times.
But Mané currently leads his team-mate this season, with six goals in all competitions compared to Salah’s four. Both scored in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Newcastle United at Anfield.
