# No rift with Salah insists Mane

Liverpool winger Sadio Mane insists that there is no hard feelings between himself and Mohamed Salah.

As reported by the [Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/liverpool-fc-news-sadio-mane-mohamed-salah-african-footballer-of-the-year-a8143481.html), there had been some suggestions of a falling out between the pair.

Questions were raised following the Merseyside Derby but Mane told the [Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jan/05/mo-salah-african-award-step-in-quest-place-history?CMP=share_btn_tw) that those rumours are far from the truth.

> Mo and me are very, very good friends. He is maybe my best friend in Liverpool even though I am cool with everyone.

Mane has struggled for form recently, while Salah has continued in his rich vein, netting five times in December.

The Senegalese winger has scored just once in five league games for the Reds.

His consistent goalscoring has seen him earn yet another nominated for the Player of the Month award, something both players have already won once this season.

The pair have been crucial for Jurgen Klopp so far this season as they bid to overtake Manchester United in second place.
