Liverpool facing dressing room unrest after ‘weird’ Sadio Mane reveal – pundit
There may be dressing room unrest at Liverpool after Sadio Mane’s latest comments on his future.
That’s according to former West Ham hitman Frank McAvennie, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the 30-year-old’s future.
As quoted by the Guardian on 26 May, Mane claimed he will reveal his “special” answer to the speculation over his future after Saturday’s Champions League final against Real Madrid (28 May).
The attacker is out of contract at the end of next season.
On 27 May, French outlet L’equipe reported the attacker’s agents have met with representatives from Bayern Munich.
McAvennie claims Mane’s comments were the last thing Liverpool needed before their crunch game against Real Madrid.
“The thing is, Liverpool can’t lose Mane and Salah,” McAvennie told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“They work so well together. it’s like Son and Kane at Tottenham. They have such a good understanding.
“I know they have fallen out in the past when one of them hasn’t passed and then they have missed the chance but that happens.
“I’m not sure I like Mane saying he will give a decision after the final, it’s a bit weird. I don’t know how that has gone down in the dressing room, not well I imagine.
“I wouldn’t be happy if my teammate said that. Just tell us if you are staying or going or don’t say anything.
“I’m not sure how that helps anyone a few days before a final.”
Mane has scored 120 goals in 269 total appearances for Liverpool.
He joined the club from Southampton in the summer of 2016.
