Bayern Munich’s new signing Sadio Mane trained with his teammates for the first time on Friday.
Mane, 30, linked up with his new teammates at Bayern’s Säbener Straße base, two days after the record champions began pre-season training ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
Fellow summer arrivals Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui were also put through their paces by head coach Julian Nagelsmann.
According to Kicker, Mane’s leadership qualities shone. The Senegalese forward had a bundle of energy and yelled “together” several times during pressing situations whilst commanding teammates when in possession. It was the Senegal international that scored the first two goals in the final game.
