Sadio Mane is an important player for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
Rio Ferdinand raved about Liverpool forward Sadio Mane on BT Sport 2 (7:45pm, March 11, 2020).
The Manchester United legend believes that among the three Liverpool attackers, Mane is the player he would like to face the least.
Ferdinand said about Mane on BT Sport 2 (7:45pm, March 11, 2020): “He has been phenomenal.”

“He is unpredictable, he is sharp, he is quick, he is direct, clinical. Listen, they are all great players, but there’s something just different about him that I really, really love.”
