Thomas Tuchel Backs Sadio Mane to Find His Liverpool Spark Again With Bayern Munich

• Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has reiterated his faith in former Liverpool star Sadio Mane
• Mane has suffered a dip in form which has seen the Senegalese come under criticism in recent times
• The Senegal forward has just one assist since returning from injury that forced him to miss the 2022 FIFA World Cup

New Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has tipped Senegal forward Sadio Mane to turn around his fortunes at the club after suffering a dip in form.

The Senegal forward has struggled with inconsistency in his form with the Bavarians this season, netting just 6 goals in 19 appearances in the Bundesliga for the German champions.

According to Liverpool Echo, Tuchel isn’t too bothered about Mane’s recent form as he still sees the former Liverpool attacker as a top forward who will still come good.

"Even at his age, it always takes time to acclimate after a change of clubs. That can take time. There's no doubt about his quality and what it can bring us. It's about trust and patience so he can get back into the rhythm. A goal usually helps the confidence."

Mane joined Bayern Munich on a three-year contract for £35m from Liverpool but his first season has been ravaged by injury.
