The Times claim that the Liverpool manager has been informed by the Senegal international about his desire to play, Metro report.
According to Metro, The Times also reveal that throughout the Africa Cup of Nations, Mane was accompanied by former Liverpool physio, Dave Galley, in order to ensure that the 24-year-old received the best treatment during the tournament.
