Liverpool star forward Sadio Mane, has admitted to having a lackluster season in front of the Reds’ attacking line.

The Senegalese scored in Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Leeds on Monday for his first goal in nearly three months. Additionally, the strike was number 13 in 42 games.

“It’s a really, really tough time for me, we have to recognise that, but it’s part of football and I already know that so I’m dealing with it and trying to work as hard as I can to help the team more,” Mane has told Liverpool’s official website, as shared by Goal.

“A few years ago I would maybe struggle a bit more but now I have more experience and know a bit more about football so I know what this kind of time is like.

“It’s my first time but, to be honest, I never doubt [myself]. I just try to be more positive than I’ve ever been, so that’s it,” the 29-year-old former Red Bull Salzburg and Southampton man concluded.

Up next is the hosting of Newcastle at Anfield in a league game this weekend.
