Fans have questioned why Senegal forward Sadio Mane was not shortlisted for the Professional Football Association (PFA) Players' Player of the Year Awards despite the good season he is enjoying with Liverpool.
Mane was among the players who had been touted to be in contention for the prestigious individual award but missed out on the nomination with teammates Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold among those shortlisted.
Manchester City duo Kevin De Bruyne and Joao Cancelo, West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen, Bukayo Saka of Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur's Heung-min Son and Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse are the other nominees but a section of fans are disappointed at Mane's absence.

He has a chance to add onto that tally as Liverpool look to win a second trophy of the season when they take on Chelsea in Saturday's FA Cup final at Wembley.
