Holland coach Louis van Gaal has paid tribute to Bayern Munich striker Sadio Mane.

Mane is out of Senegal's World Cup campaign due to injury.

Van Gaal said of the former Liverpool striker: "Mane is an extraordinary player. I wanted him when I was the manager at Manchester United. I chased him at the time,.

"I am a fan of Mane. He can break open a match and I would say Senegal will really miss him.

"But the same applies to us. We are missing our top scorer and king of the assists [Memphis Depay]."
