Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge says that there is no rift between forwards Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah since their dispute in the Reds' win over Burnley.

Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge has rubbished reports of a rift between Reds forwards Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

Mane made his frustration with his teammate clear after not receiving a pass from the Egyptian in their 3-0 win over Burnley.

However, the pair appear to have patched things up since the incident, with Liverpool continuing their 100% domestic record to go eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Aldridge confirmed as much, saying that the duo's link-up play since that day demonstrates that there is no issue between them.

"It's just the way it is," he said. "They do look for each other; there was a passage of play on Saturday [against Leicester City] where there were three one-twos between them, and it would have been a marvellous goal.

"It's just been highlighted because of what happened at Burnley. But it is nonsense. They do look for each other, and they are both world-class.

"If it was me, would I pass? No. That's why I scored 474 goals! Of course I would; if somebody is in a much better place, of course you play it across to them."

Mane and Salah have managed 14 goals between them across all competitions as the Reds search for a first Premier League title.
