Sadio Mane: How Salah Made Me Angry - and Why I Turned Down Man Utd
About this episode
Rio travels to Saudi Arabia for an unmissable Rio Meets with Sadio Mané — a rare, honest and emotional conversation showing a side of the Liverpool legend that fans have never seen before.
Mané opens up about his relationship with Mo Salah, how their competitive edge sometimes boiled over, and the truth behind why he almost joined Manchester United before a call from Jürgen Klopp changed everything.
From his early life in Senegal to sharing a dressing room with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr, Mané reflects on the mentality, humility and drive that have defined his career.
He also credits the influence of Ralf Rangnick on his evolution into a world-class winger, his thoughts on England’s World Cup chances under Thomas Tuchel, and why he’d do something for Bobby Firmino that he wouldn’t for anyone else.
This is Sadio Mané as you’ve never seen him before — raw, reflective and real
