Mane names Firmino as ‘favourite team-mate’ at Liverpool despite no assists from Brazilian

Sadio Mane has named Roberto Firmino as his “favourite team-mate” at Liverpool despite being yet to receive an assist from the Brazil international during the 2020-21 campaign.

The Reds’ fearsome front three – which includes the prolific Mohamed Salah - have combined on a regular basis in recent seasons to make Jurgen Klopp’s side Champions League and Premier League title winners.

Productivity has dipped this time around, as unwanted records are posted alongside positive ones, but Mane remains a big fan of a player that does not get the credit he deserves.
