Klopp added that he decided to make a late change to the team that would start against Manchester United.

The German implied that Mane was supposed to take to the field against Manchester United, but he decided to start Diogo Jota instead.

Klopp said that because of the late change, he did not get a chance to explain to Mane why he was left out of the starting lineup.

Mane should not be ignoring his manager. It is not a good look. The footage below belongs to Sky Sports.
