Sadio Mane is definitely not living up to the expectations at Munich. Despite the fact he was absent due to injury, the Senegalese star is obviously facing some unprecedented scrutiny in Germany. The first signs of dissatisfaction are visible, though announced subtly, without any official statements.But…‘Who the f**k is Mane?”The German TV channel Sport1, known for its close ties with the Bavarian giants, went with the story about Mane that has spread all over the country in just a few hours. Their reporter Kerry Hau claims that Bayern Munich’s coach Julian Nagelsmann and the people in charge ‘expect a lot more from him.’ “Since his comeback from injury, Mane seems unfit and rarely wins one-on-one duels, which was noticeable in training, according to the team entourage.”It is said that Mane always works diligently off the ball, but in possession, he hardly brings any added value to the team at the moment. He lacks pace and explosiveness, the qualities that distinguished him for years at Liverpool.”Mane met Cristiano after his Bayern move and reveals what the Portuguese told him about itHau, though, admits the current tactical setup at Bayern made Mane play a completely different role to the one he played at Anfield. “The Senegalese acts as a kind of second striker in the half-spaces, a role in which he visibly feels uncomfortable,” explains the German reporter, before sending a harsh message to the African star:”Mane looks like a ‘foreign body’ in the system because he has far less space when in possession. He’s also lost and often offside in the centre-forward position. Nagelsmann and the bosses are hoping Mane will turn things around and rediscover his form quickly.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7120878##
