adminThe Senegalese forward has endured a tough run of form for Bayern Munich in front of goal and was substituted off in their loss against Augsburg in the Bundesliga.
Sadio Mane’s difficult run of form for Bayern Munich continued on Saturday as the German champions suffered a 1-0 defeat at Augsburg to drop to fourth in the Bundesliga.
Mane joined Bayern Munich in a £35.1million agreement from Liverpool this summer. The Senegalese star pulled the curtain down on six trophy-laden seasons at Anfield after making it clear he wanted a new challenge.
The forward got off to a fast start with the Bundesliga giants, scoring four goals in his first four games. However, he has since gone six matches without another strike, including two blanks in the Champions League and Saturday’s defeat at Augsburg. Bayern have now gone four matches without a win in the Bundesliga in an alarming run of form after a bright start.
Mane struggled throughout Saturday’s game and he was substituted off in the 78th minute with his side chasing an equaliser, as Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting took his place on the pitch.
It comes just days after Dietmar Hamann, who played for both Bayern and Liverpool, questioned how Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann was deploying the Senegalese forward in his attacking system while claiming that Mane looks “isolated” within the team setup.
Hamann said earlier this week, “He is not integrated. I saw him at Liverpool, where he played through the middle. That is not his position. Now he’s taking that position at FC Bayern as well. He is at his best when he comes from the outside. He doesn’t look happy to me. -Miror.
