Klopp 'not concerned' about Mane's form as he backs Liverpool star to come good in front of goal

Jurgen Klopp insists he has no concerns over the form of Sadio Mane, despite the Liverpool forward’s struggles in front of goal in recent weeks.

Mane has managed just seven goals in 27 Premier League games this season, and only three in his last 23. He has not netted in the league since the 3-1 win at Tottenham on January 31, a run of eight scoreless games.

The Senegal star cut a frustrated figure as the Reds lost 3-1 to Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night, with Klopp venting his fury at referee Felix Brych afterwards, claiming the German official had “something personal” against Mane.
