Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy says they can look within to replace Sadio Mane.

Mane is expected to leave the Reds for Bayern Munich this summer.

Murphy believes that Luis Diaz has shown himself to be capable of filling in the Mane role during his brief time with the club so far.

“It does seem that there's been an obvious effort from Liverpool to replace him," Murphy told Talksport.

“When you think of the way Luis Diaz has come in, playing off that left-hand side generally – because Mane has been through the middle a lot, especially towards the end of the season.

“He's tenacious, he's a goal-scorer, he plays with the same energy, the tenacity, all those things that Mane gives, Diaz is very similar with his traits.

“So he looks like a replacement, if you like, for Mane."
