Cesc Fabregas has hailed Liverpool star Sadio Mane as one of the top three players in world football.
The Spanish midfielder , currently playing for AS Monaco, made the statement during the Reds 4-3 victory over Salzburg at Anfield where Mane opened the scoring with a simply stunning move down the left wing to combine with Roberto Firmino.
Fabregas, who has won the World Cup with Spain, is not the only football superstar to rate Mane as one of the best players on the planet after Lionel Messi also voted for the Senegal international in first place for the FIFA Best Player of the Year 2018/19.
Mané for me is top 3 players in the world and has been for a while. Top top level.

Mane enjoyed a superb 2018/19 term at Anfield, winning the Premier League’s Golden Boot and the Champions League.
He also reached the African Cup of Nations final and has started this season off in fine form too having scored four goals in the first seven games of the domestic campaign and bagging one in the European Cup competition.
