Sadio Mane says he never allows himself to take his place at Liverpool for granted.

Despite this fine run of form, Mane insists he never takes his position in the Liverpool side for granted, knowing of the quality that lies in the starting XI and substitutes bench.

He told the official Liverpool FC magazine: "I always say it is very easy to work together.

"Personally, I just think myself very lucky to play alongside these great players.

"Every single player who plays alongside them would enjoy it because they are very good players and they make everything easy, so I just enjoy playing alongside them.

"We are all from different countries and speak different first languages but I think football is one language and it is universal so everybody can speak it."
