Liverpool winger Sadio Mane ends talk of Mohamed Salah rift with adorable message for his team-mate

Sadio Mane has once again reiterated that there is no problem between him and his team-mate Mohamed Salah after seeing his Liverpool side progress to the final of the FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar.

Mane came onto the field at the Khalifa International Stadium with just over 20 minutes to play as the Reds searched for a winning goal.

It was fellow forward Roberto Firmino, who arrived onto the pitch with just five minutes of normal time remaining, who ultimately notched a late winner.

In a video shared by @mohamedelgazar4 on Twitter, Mane spoke post-match of the relationship he has with Salah, which came under scrutiny earlier in the campaign with a public falling out against Burnley at Turf Moor.

"What do you say about Salah?", came the question from an Egyptian reporter.

"Very, very good friends. The Egyptian King!", came the response, with Mane singing the final three words to the same tune that those inside Anfield do with regularity.

"No problem?" was the follow-up.

"What kind of problem?" Mane replied with a smile, adding: "People, keep supporting Salah. He is doing everything for Egypt and he keeps fighting for Egypt, so see you soon in Egypt!"

Both Mane and Salah are likely to start for the Reds on Saturday evening as Liverpool look to become Club World Cup champions for the first time in their history.

The 'fall-out' has not affected either player too much, with Mane scoring 13 times and assisting nine so far this season, with Salah's record standing at 13 goals and seven assists.
