Ex-Everton captain Neville: Don't blame Mane for disappointing World Cup

Former Everton captain Phil Neville believes Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane hasn't received the right service from his Senegal teammates at the World Cup.

Mane has not hit the heights he reached last season at Anfield.

“I don't think they've fed him really that well," Neville said of Mane. “The midfield players haven't really given him the ball in the areas that we saw for Liverpool last year.

“Sarr on the other side has actually been a little bit more impressive.

“I actually think they've got to get better support.

“I think that's what (Keita) Balde will give them, a little bit more support up there."
