“We asked Liverpool fans in Egypt through our official association group "What is your message for Mane?" We produced a sample of amazing and honest responses and messages from Liverpool fans. Unfortunately we could not publish all messages as there were over hundreds.

“LFC supporters will always support their players and stars. And on behalf of every true LFC fan in Egypt we send you all the love and support you deserve Sadio Mané.”
