Salah says the pair were always professional and their tension never affected Liverpool during their time as teammates.

It was often speculated that Salah and Mane had a frosty relationship behind the scenes at Anfield. One famous incident in 2019 saw Mane spit feathers at the Liverpool bench after Salah failed to pass to him for a simple tap-in. Rumours of a rift were never confirmed despite the pair quite clearly not seeing eye-to-eye.
