Liverpool ace Mane: I keep telling Firmino he should change nationalities to Senegal!

Sadio Mane says Roberto Firmino is his favourite teammate at Liverpool.

With Diogo Jota enjoying an impressive first season on Merseyside, some call for him to now be first-choice ahead of Firmino, while others would happily sacrifice his services if it led to a fantasy swoop for Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland, or a more realistic move for the likes of Donyell Malen.

But Mane insists: "He deserves more credit than me and Mo, for sure," the Senegalese told ESPN Brazil. "But it is part of football, (people) always seeing the goals scored. But without Bobby, I don't see me and Mo score as many goals as we have, to be honest.

"He makes everything easier for us. Brazil are just lucky to have Firmino. I have always said to Bobby: 'You will have to change your nationality and come to Senegal'.

"For me, that would be a dream. I just love him. I think he is my favourite team-mate."
