Naby Keita insists Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp doesn't have any favourites.

The Guinea international has struggled to tie down a place in Klopp's XI since joining in the summer of 2018.

But Keita has nothing but respect for the way Klopp deals with his players.

"I don't think he has any particular favourites or he has picked anyone out for a special mention, he communicates very freely and openly with all the players," Keita told Sky Sports News.

"He likes to laugh and joke around, he has a very light relationship with all the players."

Asked if Sadio Mane was Klopp's favourite, Keita laughed and responded: "If I can get to the level of Mo and Sadio maybe I will be his favourite one day."
