Wanyama: Mane believed Southampton players didn't want to pass to him

Montreal Impact midfielder Victor Wanyama has revealed Sadio Mane felt Southampton players did not want to pass to him during their time at the club.

The two African footballers were part of Mauricio Pochettino's side at St Mary's Stadium and the Kenyan skipper has revealed how the Senegalese forward approached him for a deal that would have helped him score more goals.

Mane and Wanyama left the Saints in 2016 for Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur respectively.
