Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel has sent a warning to Sadio Mane after an "unsatisfactory" first season with the club.
The Senegalese star joined the Bavarians before the start of last season after spending six years with Premier League giants Liverpool.

Mane's first season did not go to plan as he struggled to replicate to show the form he had at Liverpool, having scored just seven goals in 25 Bundesliga appearances.
To make matters worse, Mane was also suspended by the club in May after a reported bust-up with teammate Leroy Sane after their UEFA Champions League exit at the hands of Manchester City.
Tuchel admitted the Africa Cup of Nations winner fell short of expectations last season and says the competition at Bayern is very high."Basically, he had an unsatisfactory season and fell short of expectations. The competition is very high in the position where I see him at his strongest, with Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry," Tuchel told reporters, as per the club's official website.
"We're very open and honest with each other, he's our player, he has a contract. We demand everything from him and he demands everything from us. The starting position is not easy, time will tell us more."
The Senegalese forward has been linked with a departure this transfer window, with clubs from the Saudi Pro League reportedly looking to pounce.
