The Senegalese ace is usually deployed on the left-side of a trio with Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.
And he is enjoying another prolific season in the red shirt – having netted six Premier League goals so far this term.
But Klopp believes the magic African has the ability to play in a number of positions and has admitted he could shake things up from his usual Liverpool side.
He told Premier League Productions: "Since he came in he helped the team so much, he improved so much. He is an outstanding offensive player.
"If you ask me if he is a striker, yes, from time to time; is he a midfielder, yes, from time to time; he can probably play a slightly deeper position as well.
"We don’t have to play him there because we have other players there but he could play it as well."
The German also praised Mane's personality and his improvement since his Anfield arrival.
He said: "He is physically strong, technically strong, he is unbelievably quick, he is quick in mind as well, and he is a good shooter with both feet. That makes a good player and he is a fantastic person.
"He needed more confidence when he came in, the start was really good but I think he was a bit surprised by himself.
"Everything was good until the first time his shape dropped a little bit and then he struggled a bit with that, because he needed to get used to that he is a world-class player.
"Now, he knows that much better. That helps us. He is a really good player."
