Senegal international Mane leaves Liverpool

Even now, when Mane punched Sane in the mouth in the dressing room after the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City, Michael Owen is still wondering why Mane left Liverpool. Previously, former player Dean Saunders also believed that Mane would ruin the two best years of his career, which the Senegalese striker could have enjoyed if he had continued to stay at Anfield.

Writer Florian Plettenberg (Sky Sports) said that Bayern Munich's board of directors has temporarily suspended and fined Mane.

Mane deserves to be condemned for getting into a fight and causing consequences for his teammates. There is no explanation for Mane's punch. This action not only ruined the Senegalese striker's career but also damaged Bayern Munich's image and left an emotional wound for Sane.

At this time, many Bayern Munich players openly do not want to see Mane. This will put great pressure on the team's leadership and coach Tuchel. Writer Kerry Hau (Sport1) said that Bayern Munich's coaching staff and leadership have long been fed up with Mane and now they have an excuse to kick the 31-year-old striker out of the team. At Bayern Munich, Mane feels unhappy, he is forced to play inside as a second striker, cannot develop his wing ability and often falls offside because he has lost his tactical vision.

Back in June 2017, strategist Klopp brought Salah to Anfield from Rome. Salah's ability to integrate was too good, but there was one person who was not very happy, that was Mane, when he lost the right winger position to Salah, forced to switch to playing left winger. Before Christmas 2017, Mane gradually adapted to the new position but was not really comfortable. But as a professional player, he accepted to follow the instructions of the coaching staff. But that was the first time, Mane thought: "Am I important in Klopp's eyes?".

Three years later, Portuguese striker Jota joined Liverpool . Mane did not have to change places, but sometimes he lost his natural starting position. Mane knew it was time to leave Liverpool.

The story at Bayern Munich repeated what Mane felt uncomfortable with at Liverpool. The number 1 team in Germany had Davies, who was fast and good at climbing the flanks to support the attack, so Mane was gradually pushed into the middle, making his ability narrow.

At 31, Mane can still play well. But with 10 injuries since 2017, plus the scandal from punching Sane, it is clear that the future is not very good for Mane.
