Mane rubbishes ‘Salah rivalry’

MUNICH, Germany – July 21 (ONLINE) Senegal international Sadio Mane said Friday he enjoys a good, friendly relationship with Egyptian star and his former team mate at Liverpool, Muhammad Salah.

Talking to a football website, Sadio Mane said he continues to text with Salah following his exit from Anfield.

The Senegal international had recently left Liverpool for Bayern Munich, and has received the 2022 African Player of the Year honour in CAF, beating out his former team-mate for the award.

“People sometimes say there’s a rivalry between me and [Salah], but you know I don’t see myself having a rivalry with any player to be honest,” Mane was quoted as saying. “We have good relations, we text each other. I think the media always try to [aggravate] things.”

“You know I don’t just have [relationships] with one player, but with every player I’ve played with in the world,” Mane continued. “You can ask whoever you want in the club, or wherever I go.

“I have good relationships with all players.”
