Sadio Mane gets one over young Northern Ireland goalkeeper in training session

Talk about being in the firing line, but what an experience this must be for young Northern Ireland goalkeeper Liam Hughes.

The 19-year-old has been training with Liverpool's first-team ahead of Sunday's Premier League showdown with Manchester United.

In this video shared by Liverpool FC's official Twitter account, it shows Sadio Mane outfoxing Hughes with a thunderous strike from outside the area.

With a shimmy to the left, Mane lets fly with a left-foot shot that rises high into the top corner.

Hughes joined Liverpool from Celtic back in January and has been impressing for the club's Under 23 squad this season.

The young shot-stopper has also featured on the bench for Klopp's senior squad, that coming in a top flight game against Sheffield United, and just 24 hours after making his U23 debut.
