The former Aston Villa and Chelsea striker has been impressed with the performances of Mane for Liverpool this season.
Cascarino, who now works as a pundit for talkSPORT, believes that the former Southampton star has become more than “just an unpredictable player”.
Cascarino wrote in The Times: “Can scare the life out of defenders in a split second but has become more than just an unpredictable player.
“I strongly considered Raheem Sterling for this position but while he has outscored Mane 19 to 17, he has assisted only once to Mané’s seven.”

Mane is one of the best players in the Premier League, and his importance to the current Liverpool team cannot be overrated at all.
