Liverpool ace: What I think of £30m Sadio Mane after a week of training
JON FLANAGAN believes Sadio Mane has already showed his new team-ages his ability in the first week of pre-season training.
Flanagan believes Mane has already demonstrated his abilities at Liverpool
Mane became Jurgen Klopp's first major signing as Liverpool manager when he completed a £30million switch from Southampton last month.
And Flanagan reckons he is worth every penny having spent a week training with him and having captained the Reds when Mane inspired Saints to a 3-2 victory over Liverpool last season.
“He showed that day what a great player he is," Flanagan told the Liverpool Echo.
“Matip is a big lad who is great on the ball.
"They all seem top players.
“We can’t dwell on what happened at the end of last season.
"We have to put that behind us and crack on.
"The signings can help us have a better season in the league and a couple of good runs in the cups.”
