Arsenal legend Paul Merson has stated that he is “worried” for Liverpool following Sadio Mane’s departure.

Mane opted to join Bayern Munich from Liverpool a few days ago, completing a move worth around £35 million.

The Senegalese international signed a three-year deal with the Bundesliga champions.

But Merson believes Liverpool could feel the effects of Mane’s absence, adding that his departure was a massive miss.

When asked how Mane’s departure would affect the Reds, he replied (as quoted by the Liverpool Echo): “Massive miss, massive."

“I worry for Liverpool because they have got an unbelievable manager, but people forget that Mane was a big game player.”
