A difficult start for Mane

Following his move from Liverpool to the Bavarians, Mane has failed to fire as many expected. Injuries and a lack of consistency have seen him struggle to reach the heights that many are accustomed to.

As noted by Transfermarkt, the Senegalese has only scored 11 goals and notched five assists in 28 games for the club.

Mane himself admitted that moving to a new league wasn't easy, as per The Mirror.

"Switching from one club to another is not easy. I spent eight very nice years in England, and now I am in a new country. It is not easy because everything changes so suddenly: people, training, everything,” he said.

Mane’s chances of impressing Tuchel

The former Chelsea manager will take charge of his first game with the club as they take on league leaders, Borussia Dortmund and will be spoiled for choice when it comes to attacking options.

Mane will compete with Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane, Eric Choupo-Moting, and Thomas Muller for a place in the starting team. Choupo-Moting previously played under Tuchel at Paris Saint-Germain.

With competition high and the new Bayern manager looking to put his own stamp on things at the German giants, Mane is looking to prove to the side that they were right in signing him.
