'He is a winner and I would say he is the best in the world' - Mane hails Klopp

Sadio Mane has described Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp as the best manager in the world.

Liverpool are top of the Premier League and are eight points ahead of second place Leicester City.

And Mane, who is Liverpool's top scorer so far in the league this season with seven goals, has hailed Klopp's influence.

'There are a lot of good managers in Europe but what I can say is that our manager always has the right words and the right things to manage his team, especially knowing how to deal with his team.

'I would always trust his influence on the team. He is a winner and I would say he is the best in the world.'

Liverpool resume domestic action with a tricky trip to Selhurst Park to play Crystal Palace on Saturday.
