Sadio Mane has spoken of the "special relationship" between Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool players which serves as a powerful motivating tool.

The former Borussia Dortmund coach has impressed at Anfield since his 2015 arrival, steering the Reds to finals in the EFL Cup, the Europa League and the Champions League.

Liverpool have enjoyed a bright start to their Premier League campaign this season, sitting top of the table after three wins out of three and no goals conceded.

Mane, one of the club's primary attacking players alongside Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, has claimed that Klopp's personality is universally liked among the players.

"Everyone knows and speaks wonders of his personality," Mane told Marca.

"He is a guy who loves what he does, who motivates you, who improves you all the time. He raises your level on the pitch. He has a special relationship with the players and that motivates us."

Mane has scored three goals in as many games this season.
