Sadio Mane took his first steps in senior football with Red Bull Salzburg and it was his time in Austria that attracted plenty of interest across Europe. He was a fan favourite at the club for the better part of his time and scored 45 goals and assisted 32 in 87 appearances. Mane won the Austrian Bundesliga and Austrian Cup twice.

He secured a move to Southampton in 2014 and 2 years later, moved to Liverpool. Along with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, he is a part of one of the most dangerous forward trios in the world.

He has scored 62 goals and assisted 23 in 127 games for the Premier League club. His visit to Salzburg will most certainly be an emotional one for the Senegalese. His Liverpool teammate, Naby Keita has also represented Salzburg previously and local supporters wouldn't want to miss this game.
