Mane returned from a four-month injury layoff last week and has been keeping an eye on his former club.

The 30-year-old forward believes Jurgen Klopp is the right man to lead the club back to its best.

"Liverpool will be back," Mane told Bild, as quoted by Sports Bible.
"I'm convinced they will overcome this situation. They had many injuries and tough tests, but Klopp is definitely the right man. He will lead Liverpool back up, from this season - the players love him."

Before leaving Liverpool, Mane was part of the team that won the domestic double of the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup and was the main man as the Reds reached last season's UEFA Champions League final.
