It’s fair to say that Sadio Mane’s £30m signing from Southampton in 2016 has turned out pretty well.
The Senegalese is one of the most feared wingers on the planet, scores buckets of goals and won the Champions League last season.
He has been shortlisted for the FIFPRO XI for 2019, as well.
But when we snared our no.10 three years ago, rival fans mocked us – claiming that Henrikh Mkhitaryan was a much better signing for Manchester United and that even Theo Walcott was a superior player…
Some of the replies to the official Sky Sports tweet are truly breathtaking, in fact – and we’ve collated a nice list for your pleasure – below.
Since these tweets, Mane has bagged 65 Liverpool goals in 129 appearances, while Mkhitaryan has 23 for three different clubs.
The less said about Walcott’s regression, the better.
Think it’s pretty obvious who got the better deal, right?!

If he's worth £30m then Jonathan Walters is worth £90m
