He fell out with Klopp, left Liverpool and now his career is a disaster

Within this sea of problems that persist at Liverpool today, one of the most chaotic has been in the forward line, an area of the pitch that was severely diminished with the sale of Senegalese international Sadio Mané, a player with incredible attacking qualities that have not been fully exploited at Bayern Munich, and it is thought that his lack of play is still linked to Anfield and Liverpool.

After the official transfer of Mané to the Bundesliga with the Bavarians, he had a great start that made Bayern fans think that the perfect replacement for Robert Lewandowski was in front of their eyes, but the reality is that the Senegalese as the days passed was declining in his level to the point of running into a negative patch of minutes without scoring, a situation that led the sporting director of the German institution to defend his player.

Hasan Salihamidzic, who was one of the main architects of Sadio Mané's arrival at the German institution, came to the defence of his player who still seems to resent his departure from Anfield months ago, assuring the Bosnian naturalised German that the striker is still in the process of adapting to the football played in the Teutonic league, needing time to get used to his new lifestyle away from England.

“Sadio needs a bit of time, he needs to get used to the Bundesliga, but he will. I know what it's like to come to a new team, a different country, a city and football that are slightly different.” The former Merseyside striker who played for Anfield had a brilliant start that gradually faded in Germany, because after that goal against Bochum in the Bundesliga and the one scored against Viktoria Klon in the DFB Pokal, the Senegalese was fighting with the nets not appearing at all in those five subsequent games (3 league and 1 Champions League), serving much for the Bavarians his call-up with Senegal because there he returned to celebrate a goal.

Mané not doing well at Bayern Munich 

These problems in Bavaria are nothing new in his career, as even Liverpool fans saw their former striker go through a similar goalscoring crisis last year, with the Senegalese then dragging a long streak of eight Premier League games without finding the net, a number he could now equal after his UEFA Champions League game against Viktoria Plzen.
