Liverpool fans are calling for the head of Sadio Mane after the forward was seen deliberately snubbing Jürgen Klopp at the end of their 4-2 win over arch-rivals Manchester United.
The Senegal international was a second-half substitute as the Reds picked up a huge win in their quest to qualify for next season’s Champions League, placing them fourth, four points behind Chelsea and six points behind Leicester City.
However, the win did not seem to matter to the 29-year-old who expressed his displeasure at being left out of the starting lineup after the game when Klopp went over to embrace him.
The German was seen shaking hands with a number of his players while beaming with delight but was left bemused when the forward ignored his approach, with the player walking off throwing away his tape while shaking his head as he left the Old Trafford pitch.
Liverpool’s fans have slammed the Senegalese forward for “disrespecting” Klopp at the final whistle:
Didn’t like it, Klopp said yesterday this happened so over 24hrs and he still did that in the public eye knowing full well his actions could take away what the team did.
I love Mane I really do but this wasn’t needed and was disrespectful.— Carl Mcfarlane (@CarlMcfarlane1) May 14, 2021

Mane has been poor this season. Klopp was right to bench him and if he can't get over it, sell him. He should get out of the club before he spoils things

No player should disrespect the manager like that especially one like Klopp ! #Mane should be shown a door out for that. You are out of the team because you are playing piss poor. And Klopp's given him enough chances. #MUNLIV #LFC
