Liverpool star Sadio Mane recently celebrated his 28th birthday and footage has emerged on Twitter (via @LFC) of his teammates singing to him in a number of different languages. The players were involved in what looked like a group video call but Jurgen Klopp was adamant the team sung to the Senegalese international before getting down to business.
Here is how some of the club’s supporters have reacted to the footage.
