Sadio Mane's PR manager has launched a scathing attack on Bayern Munich after the Senegalese star left the club to join Al Nassr.
Mane only spent one season with the Bavarians, but it did not go to plan as he battled with injury and form while he was also involved in a bust-up with teammate Leroy Sane.

The Senegalese ended his nightmare spell by teaming up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr, but that has not stopped his agent Bacary Cisse from slamming Bayern.
"It wasn't a footballing decision (to sell him),' Cisse told After Foot RMC.
"Sadio's salary bothered the Germans, they didn't understand how an African joins the club and becomes the top earner ahead of everyone, so they wanted to get rid of him.
"They never called the player's representatives. They never told Sadio face-to-face that they wanted to get rid of him. They just sent (Thomas) Tuchel to tell him that he will be a third choice left winger.
"Sadio has nothing to prove to the Germans. He didn't become what he's become thanks to Bayern. It was thanks to Liverpool. Bayern were ungrateful. They were paying an African all this money, and that hurt them."
Cisse also accused the Bavarians of leaking information to the media about selling him.
"He was professional until the end. But the people in charge at Bayern weren't fair.
"They first leaked to the media they were ready to sell him for €20m (£17.3m). But after he returned to training and they saw he was doing well, they raised the price to €30m (£25.9m).
"Sadio didn't steal his money. From the first meeting with Bayern, he gave them his word that he would join, without talking about the salary. His representatives negotiated that salary for him.'
