Tanzania striker Simon Msuva has explained why Sadio Mane deserved the Caf African Player of the Year award more than his Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah.
Mane was crowned on Tuesday after seeing off competition from Salah and Riyad Mahrez of Manchester City and Algeria. Msuva says reaching the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations final gave Mane the advantage over Salah.
Salah and Egypt were eliminated in the Round of 16 by South Africa.
