Liverpool's Sadio Mane not feeling "pressure" of £30m price tag

Sadio Mane says that he does not feel under any "pressure" after Liverpool spent £30m to sign him from Liverpool.

Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane has insisted that he does not feel the weight of his £30m price tag.

The 24-year-old was signed by Reds manager Jurgen Klopp in June following a two-year spell at Southampton.

Mane has made an instant impact on Merseyside having scored in the team's opening Premier League win over Arsenal, and also played a part in four of Liverpool's five goals against Burton Albion in the EFL Cup.

"It's normal in football - people will talk about [the transfer fee] but I don't feel the pressure," Mane told BBC Sport. "I have always believed in my quality and I know what I can do for my team. I just try to work in training every day and give my best for the club and for the fans.

"I was very happy to score my first goal in my first game for Liverpool. Most importantly we won the game. I want to thank everyone for all the support I've had from the fans and from the club."

In the league so far this season, they have recorded one victory, one defeat and a draw.
