As noted by The Guardian, Mane was suspended and fined by the Bundesliga champions after he punched Leroy Sane in the face after a dressing room argument.

The bust-up took place after Bayern’s defeat at the hands of Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League.

With Mane's poor performances for the side also on everyone’s mind, jokes have started to do the rounds that Bayern signed the wrong player from Liverpool.

As reported by Bavarian Football Works, there is a running joke at the side that they signed his twin brother instead.

Mane was brought in from the English Premier League side for €32 million, which was seen as a good bit of business at the time after Robert Lewandowski’s departure. The former Bayern talisman left the club to join Barcelona.

The Senegalese star has since played 32 games for the side, scoring 11 goals and notching just five assists, Transfermarkt reported.

With Thomas Tuchel now at the helm, Mane is seen as surplus to requirements and rumours are already doing the rounds that the club could try and sell him in the summer.

Bayern considering selling Mane

Bayern Munich management is blaming Mane fully for his clash with Sane, Sports Brief previously reported.

The two stars got into a fight after the Bavarians lost to Man City 3-0 in the first leg of their UCL quarter-final.

The club are now said to be considering selling Mane after just one season but some spoke up in his defence.
