Sadio Mane admits he sees former Liverpool pair El-Hadji Diouf and Salif Diao as role models.
The Senegalese stars are regarded as inspirational by Man.
"Yes of course. Especially in the case of Diouf. I remember when I was still in the village living with my parents, I used to look to him," Man told Canal Plus.
"I think he is one of the people who inspired me most to become a football player.
"He is one of my favourite players."
