Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp refuses to get carried away by Sadio Mane

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is refusing to get carried away with the arrival of Sadio Mane after the Senegal international starred again in the 5-0 win over Burton in the EFL Cup.

The 24-year-old Mane assisted the opener from Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge's second goal as Liverpool cruised to victory at the Pirelli Stadium.

His performance demonstrated exactly how he was missed at Turf Moor on Saturday, where Liverpool slumped to a 2-0 defeat by Burnley in the Premier League.

'I really like this player, but I don’t like to talk too much after only two games for him,' Klopp said.
