Mane thanked fans from around the world as he received the award, saying: “It means so much to me.

“I feel at home at this club and in this city. My team-mates, the staff, the manager and the supporters have all made me feel so welcome.

“I have loved every minute of playing for Liverpool this season and can’t wait to get back fit to help the team again.”
