The 25-year-old tops the Premier League's top-scorer list so far this season, level with United marksman Lukaku.
He has stepped up in the absence of Philippe Coutinho, and provided both creative and explosive attacking options for Klopp's men.
Mane and his Liverpool side will travel to the Etihad Stadium this weekend to face Manchester City as the Premier League returns following the international break.
Both Mane and Liverpool, meanwhile, will hope September carries on where August left off.
