Given that his last act for the club was taking part in an open-top bus parade, it might seem a stretch to say that Sadio Mané left Liverpool quietly. As leaving dos go, being cheered by thousands of fans while standing on top of a double-decker beats the traditional whip-round and card in an envelope.

Still, Mané’s departure was a low-key one for a man who can reasonably be said to be one of the most important players in recent Premier League history, one who won every available trophy in his six seasons at the club.
