Sadio Mane gets pelters from Liverpool fans for posting a topless gym picture posing with his Senegal 'idol' El Hadji-Diouf as supporters slam 'vile' former No 9 after his long history of clashes with Steven Gerrard

Sadio Mane has been blasted by Liverpool fans on social media after posting a gym picture of Instagram with controversial former forward El-Hadji Diouf.

Mane - currently on international duty with Senegal - is regarded as one of the Reds' most successful buys, having scored 93 goals for the club and won the Premier League and Champions League since moving from Southampton in 2016.

However, compatriot Diouf's stint at Liverpool was far less fruitful after arriving from Lens in 2002, managing just six goals in 79 games and being involved in a series of rows with club legend Steven Gerrard during and after his two years at Merseyside before sealing a move to Bolton.
