USA White House crowns Ronaldo 'GOAT' after high-profile meeting wiith Donald Trump
Cristiano Ronaldo met with the American president Donald Trump at the White House.
The absence of Salah, with whom Mane, who also revealed why he rejected Manchester United for rivals Liverpool, shared 223 matches at Liverpool and scored 35 goals, surprised many fans.
Mane’s dream team includes Brazilian superstar Roberto Firmino from his time at Liverpool as his No. 9.
)
He also selected another Brazilian forward Philippe Coutinho, citing him as a “special player” and Virgil van Dijk, two of his former teammates, emphasising their importance in his team.
For the defensive line, Mane included his Senegalese national team captain Kalidou Koulibaly, in addition to Van Dijk, for a monstrous backline.
)
The final inclusion was Ronaldo, highlighting the influence of the legendary Portuguese forward, to complete what Rio described as a ”really good team.”
Following the omission of Mo Salah, some fans reacted strongly on social media, with comments such as “He just doesn’t fuck with Salah, same way Rooney doesn’t fuck with Ronaldo,” indicating there may be underlying tensions.
)
Others joked, “No Salah in his 5-a-side team? I dare any player who has played with Hazard not pick him too.”
Interestingly, Mane’s choice reflects his personal preferences and possibly some behind-the-scenes dynamics that fans are still speculating about.
)
This selection has sparked debate among football , especially as Mane and Salah’s partnership at Liverpool was one of the most prolific of the recent Premier League era.
However, Mane’s picks provide insight into his personal preferences and the players he values most in his hypothetical squad.
