'I am going to be Liverpool’s No.1 fan forever': Sadio Mane on leaving Liverpool

Sadio Mane has left Liverpool on a permanent transfer to Bayern Munich and has shared his feelings about leaving in an interview with Liverpool's website.

Here are some of the best bits:

"For sure, I think whoever is leaving Liverpool, with those supporters you will always miss them because so far [they are] the best in the world and I have always said it. Especially when [they sing] my name, ‘Mane! Running down the wing…!’ – I don’t know, I can’t sing very well! Of course I really enjoyed the time and they, wow… how can I say it?

"Playing at Anfield I think always gives you so much power because of the fans. So, for sure I am going to miss you guys but anyway, I love you guys. I still have my house in Liverpool and everything so for sure I will come back, of course, and I would love one day to come back to Anfield to say hi to them and of course to watch Liverpool playing because for me, I am going to be Liverpool’s No.1 fan – after the supporters!"

When asked about whether he'd keep an eye out for Liverpool results going forward he replied: "Yeah, of course! After every game! After every one of my games in Munich I will come to the dressing room and I will watch Liverpool, for sure, because I am going to be Liverpool’s No.1 fan forever.

"I just want to say good luck to them and I have an eye on them. And for sure they will be even better because I know the boys: great players, great talent, great maturity and attitude, so of course, Liverpool will always stay even better, for sure.

"Thank you, thank you. Thank you guys, much love still, don’t worry! Bye, all the best!"
