Jamie Carragher has admitted that he is among the people who “misjudged” Sadio Mane when he signed for Liverpool from Southampton in 2016.
Carragher has suggested that it looks like Mane or Real Madrid star Karim Benzema are in a “shoot-out” for the Ballon d’Or:
“Mane is my favourite Liverpool player of the Jurgen Klopp era – often underrated and underestimated,” Carragher wrote for The Telegraph.
Mane became the most expensive African player in history when he signed for Liverpool ahead of the 2016/17 campaign.
The 30-year-old has been a key player as he has helped Liverpool win the Premier League and Champions League.
