The main one surprise omission was Mane who played a key role in helping the Reds end their 30-year await the league after with 18 goals and nine assist last season.
Neville explained so why he went for Tottenham Hotspur forwards Heung-min Son more than the Senegalese forward.

Every club on the globe would want Boy or Mane playing for them - Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, every club on the planet prefer those two players.
"Just plug using the goals and assists found in, and Son's just done better found in a team that isn't as good obviously. Son just won it but that's no reflection on Mane. He could've easily experienced the team."
