After six-trophy laden years at Anfield, the reigning CAF African Player of the Year decided to call time on his career on Merseyside, trading Liverpool for Bayern Munich at the beginning of the season.
The Bavarians paid €32 million (R633 million) for Mane's services, and after that move was completed, Jurgen Klopp's side has struggled as they face the prospect of not qualifying for the UEFA Champions League for the first time since the German's first season at the Anfield helm.
Although the Reds have been stuttering in the 2022/23 campaign, a player who dovetailed well with the Senegal international, Andy Robertson, has insisted that the likes of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez are more than capable of filling the 30-year-old's boots.
"To be honest, no," the Scottish international admitted to BBC Radio 5 Live when asked if the Reds miss the former Southampton star.
"Don't get me wrong, I had a fantastic relationship with Sadio in terms of me and him down the left-hand side for five years. He was a joy to play with, every game. I loved playing with him, we linked really well.
“He helped me going back, the way I helped him going forward. And yeah we linked up really well. When he left, there was probably no-one more gutted than me because of the relationship we had.
"But we've got fantastic players that can play in their positions. We brought in Darwin, who has been really good to start.
"We've got Luis Diaz who has obviously been injured and re-injured and things like that, which is difficult. Jots [Diogo Jota] can play there, who's got injured.
"We have been a little bit unlucky with injuries, I think once we get them back fully fit then yeah.

"Look, Sadio was a wonderful player, a Liverpool legend, but he wanted to go and he went to Bayern Munich and we wish him all the best."
