The first time I saw Sadio Mane was during one of the proudest days of my career. At the 2012 Olympic Games, I was part of Great Britain’s football team and we played Senegal in our opening group game.
Mane was at Metz 10 years ago. He was fresh to International football, a little erratic and still had much to learn – but you could see he was a talent. As a squad, we assumed we’d take care of Senegal that day at Old Trafford but the way he played – full of aggression and energy – embodied his team as a whole.
