Newcastle forward Allan Saint-Maximin has left fans scratching their heads after claiming he has 'no cause to be jealous' of Sadio Mane, despite the Senegalese winger scoring four times more goals than him this season.
The Frenchman also took a dig at his team-mates, saying he would have much better statistics if the players around him could convert chances better.
