Liverpool ace Sadio Mane admits he didn't believe he'd get along with manager Jurgen Klopp after their first meeting.

The 27-year-old has become one of the most dangerous players in the Premier League under the guidance of Klopp since arriving from Southampton in 2016 in a 34million deal.

"He was talking too much and I said, 'Wow, this is going to be tough for me because I'm a little quiet'," he said, speaking to the Sunday Times.

The pair first met before Mane's big move to Anfield - two years earlier when he was a Red Bull Salzburg player and Klopp was still with Dortmund.

He added: "Everybody loves him and that is more important, to be honest [than all the talking]. He is a bit of a funny guy but at the same time he is a serious guy."
