Sadio Mane: Jamie Carragher says Liverpool forward will face his wrath if he joins Bayern Munich

 Mane scored the winner for Liverpool in their 2-1 comeback victory over Aston Villa on Tuesday night; Jurgen Klopp described the Senegal forward as a 'machine'; Mane has 22 goals for the Reds this season in their hunt for the quadruple.

Jamie Carragher said Sadio Mane "would have me to deal with" amid reports linking the Liverpool forward with Bayern Munich, after the Senegal international kept his side in the Premier League title race with a winner at Aston Villa.

Just a day after Sky Germany revealed Bayern's interest in Liverpool's No 10, Mane produced a brilliant header to complete a vital turnaround for Liverpool in a 2-1 win at Villa Park on Tuesday night.

The 30-year-old showed great athleticism to head home Luis Diaz's cross in the second half - after Joel Matip had cancelled out Douglas Luiz's early opener in a frantic start to the game - with Jurgen Klopp's side now level on points with Manchester City at the top of the table.

Carragher not only described Mane as his "favourite player" among the Liverpool squad - but even claimed the 30-year-old is just as important as 30-goal Mohamed Salah to the team's fortunes, with the Egypt forward just a substitute on Tuesday night.
