'You should have seen me as a player!' - Liverpool boss Klopp laughs off Mane spat after Manchester United victory

The Reds manager insists there is no issue with his Senegalese star after he appeared to snub a handshake at Old Trafford on Thursday

Jurgen Klopp has played down his row with Sadio Mane after Liverpool’s win over Manchester United, insisting he is “completely relaxed” about the issue.

Mane was seen snubbing his manager’s attempt at a handshake following the Reds’ 4-1 win at Old Trafford on Thursday.

The Senegal international had, it appears, been disappointed not to have started the game, with Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota and Mo Salah preferred by Klopp. All three justified their selection, scoring in what could prove a vital victory in the race for Champions League qualification.
