‘Mane should have shown a bit of respect’ – Former Liverpool manager Souness reacts to Klopp snub

The German coach was shunned by the Senegal forward after their away league win at Old Trafford on Thursday night

Former Liverpool manager Graeme Souness has described Sadio Mane’s gesture towards Jurgen Klopp after their 4-2 win over Manchester United as disrespectful to the coach and the club.

Klopp, in a celebratory mood after the match, approached Mane for a handshake but the 2019 Africa Footballer of the Year snubbed him and shook his head while walking past him.

The Senegal star was seemingly unhappy to have started Thursday’s encounter on the bench as Diogo Jota got the nod ahead of him.
