Amadou Tamba, the father-in-law of Senegalese star, Sadio Mane has disclosed that the talented striker and his daughter, Aisha never dated before tying the knot.
Mane recently married 18-year-old Aisha Tamba in a traditional Islamic ceremony, ahead of Senegal’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) campaign.
Speaking in a recent interview (via Mirror), Tamba insisted that his daughter couldn’t have dated the former Liverpool forward because she was too young to be in a romantic relationship.

He also said the couple met for the first time, when he in company of his wife and daughter paid a visit to Sadio’s parents.
He said: “My wife and Aisha visited their (Mane’s) family one day, and this is where he met her for the first time.
“He probably saw something special in her and his parents appreciated her as well. They came to see me.
“We discussed as per the tradition, agreed on everything and waited for this day to happen. They were not dating because Aisha was still young.”
Tamba added, “I knew that Sadio and all his family are very good and humble people. Sadio is just the reflection of his family.”
