Senegal star Sadio Mane has finally broken his silence on claims that there is a rivalry with his former Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah.

Mane picked up his second CAF Men's Player of the Year award on Thursday evening after beating out competition from Salah and Edouard Mendy.

Before the ceremony in Rabat, the newly signed Bayern Munich star insists there has never been a rivalry with the Egyptian forward.

"People sometimes say there's a rivalry between me and [Salah], but you know I don't see myself having a rivalry with any player to be honest," Mane told Goal.

"We have good relations, we text each other. I think the media always try to [aggravate] things.

"You know I don't just have [relationships] with one player, but with every player I've played with in the world.

"You can ask whoever you want in the club, or wherever I go.

"I have good relationships with all players."
