Jurgen Klopp insists Sadio Mane incident is 'all sorted' after Liverpool forward's angry outburst

Jurgen Klopp has insisted he is 'completely fine' with Sadio Mane's angry outburst following his substitution during Liverpool's 3-0 win at Burnley.

The Senegalese was caught on camera launching an angry tirade as he sat down on the bench after being replaced by Divock Origi in the 85th minute at Turf Moor.

It appeared that Mane's ire was aimed at teammate Mohamed Salah for taking on a shot in the box when a pass looked the better option, but Klopp was giving nothing away.

Asked if he knew what had angered his No.10, the German said: “Yeah, I know!

“He was upset, that was obvious. Sadio cannot hide his emotions and I like that. But all sorted.

"It was a situation in the game he wasn't happy about. That's completely fine.

“Would he do it (react) in exactly the same manner again? Probably not. But it happens.

“He didn't say any wrong words (to anyone), it just looked a little bit different to how he looks usually.”

Klopp later hailed the timing of Mane's eruption, joking that the upcoming international break is likely to reduce the column inches it receives.

“For me, it's just a little story. Thank God we are away for a week so if you write something about it we won't read it anyway.

“And in a week nobody will remember it anyway.

"It's a cool moment for it to happen! But it's all fine.”
