The Senegalese winger led the West Africans to the AFCON finals after helping the Anfield outfit win the Champions League last term.
Mane also won the Premier League Golden Boot after netting 22 goals, but Liverpool missed out on the title to Manchester City by just a point.
Jurgen Klopp’s men are running away with the title this term, though, following an impressive start to the 2019-20 campaign, and the 27-year-old has weighed in with 11 goals and five assists.
While he is currently the best African player, Mane missed out on the Ballon d’Or, finishing outside the top three.
