Rating every former Manchester United and Liverpool star in the ISL

Mohamed Sissoko – 3/5

Sissoko barely made his presence felt for Pune City in 2016

Defensive midfielder Mohamed Sissoko had a two-and-half year stint at Liverpool. During his time there, he won the FA Cup as well as the Community Shield and the UEFA Super Cup. He has also won league titles in Spain and France along with a UEFA Cup he won with Valencia.

Sissoko arrived in India to play for Pune City as their marquee player last year. He played a total of 13 matches in the ISL, scoring two goals and was a strong physical presence in their midfield. However, the Malian couldn't inspire the Orange Purples to a playoff place in ISL-3.
