'What about Sadio? Mohamed Salah admits his first question to Jurgen Klopp when joining Liverpool was if he was replacing Reds team-mate Mane... before duo helped spearhead deadly attack that won Premier League title

Mohamed Salah has admitted his primary concern before joining Liverpool was whether he would be replacing Sadio Mane in the starting XI.

Salah joined the Reds from Roma for £37million in 2017 but despite starring in Italy was returning to England with a question mark over his ability having failed to establish himself in an earlier spell at Chelsea.

Liverpool at the time were starting to improve with Jurgen Klopp at the helm and in Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane they already had two of their devastating front three who would help land their first domestic title in 30 years back in June.
