Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has urged manager Jurgen Klopp to ignore the opportunity to re-sign Sadio Mane.

It's emerged Bayern Munich are ready to sell Mane this summer after just one season in Germany.

Johnson told Neue Online Casinos: "Klopp should not look at Mane again. He is a fantastic player, but he would be coming back to a completely different team to the one that he left. He was great for Liverpool at the time, but it does not mean that he would be great for them now. I don't think they should go for him.

"For Newcastle though, it would be huge. Being in the Champions League will help them attract even better players, and Mane would be an amazing signing. They need to make the most of it this year as if they do not finish in the top 4 next year, they will still have Champions League quality players with them.

"That will therefore help them bounce back."
