Mane explains Sane punch for the first time

Striker Sadio Mane said that conflicts with teammates are normal and all problems have been resolved.

"Things like that can happen and they did. We solved that little problem together. Sometimes it's good to solve problems, but not like this. Anyway, we put it behind us," Mane told Senegalese TV channel 2sTV .

Mane and Sane argued in the Bayern dressing room after last season's 3-0 defeat to Man City at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Mane was accused of punching his team-mate because he was angry at what Sane said to him on the pitch. The Senegal striker was later banned by Bayern and expelled from the dressing room. Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel acknowledged the incident, but insisted the matter had been resolved.

Mane moved to Bayern from Liverpool last summer with high expectations. However, the 31-year-old striker scored just 11 goals in 37 games in all competitions last season. He was dropped from the first team at times due to a drop in form. There have been rumours that Mane will leave this summer and return to the Premier League, but the Senegalese striker says he has no plans to leave Bayern.

"If everything goes well, I will return to Bayern. It has been a complicated season, but that is in the past. I am not surprised because I expected difficulties when I came here. I like challenges and playing for Bayern is a big challenge. Now, whether I can conquer that challenge or not depends on myself," Mane added.

When asked about the possibility of Mane moving to Saudi Arabia, his agent - Bacary Cisse - said that the former Liverpool striker's first season in Germany was not bad and Mane will continue to contribute to Bayern.
