Liverpool winger Sadio Mane settles differences with Mohamed Salah after Burnley fall-out
Mané says Turf Moor fall-out is 'forgotten'
Sadio Mané has settled his differences with Mohamed Salah after their on-pitch fall-out at Burnley earlier this month.
Mané was visibly angry with Salah towards the end of Liverpool’s 3-0 victory at Turf Moor when his team-mate chose to shoot rather than pass to him on one late counter-attack.
The Senegal international voiced his frustrations as he was substituted a few minutes later, complaining to captain Jordan Henderson about Salah’s apparent selfishness.
Jurgen Klopp played down claims of a falling-out between the pair after the game, and Mané has now confirmed that he and Salah have buried the hatchet.
“With Salah? It’s forgotten,” he told Canal+. “Sometimes you have to say things face to face.

Mané and Salah were forced to share the Premier League’s Golden Boot award last season, along with Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, after each scoring 22 times.
But Mané currently leads his team-mate this season, with six goals in all competitions compared to Salah’s four. Both scored in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Newcastle United at Anfield.
