“They were never best friends; each kept himself to himself.
"It was rare to see the two of them talking and I’m not sure if that had to do with the Egypt–Senegal rivalry in African competitions.
"I truly don’t know. But they also never stopped talking, never severed ties. They always acted with the utmost professionalism.
"Salah and Mane had had their little problems before, but that time [against Burnley] everything happened on the field, there for the world to see."
Sadio Mane has since moved on, leaving the club in the summer of 2022 to join Bayern Munich, a move that didn't work out.
The Senegal international now plays his football in the Saudi Pro League, forming a deadly attacking duo with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr.
