Arsene Wenger has theory about Sadio Mane punch at Bayern Munich

Arsene Wenger believes a rift in the squad and management team is part of the reason for the bust-up involving Liverpool icon Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane.

The Senegal star was fined a reported €300,000-a-week for his role in a punch-up that left the former Manchester City attacker with a bruised lip. It had sparked from a supposed incident on the pitch during their Champions League first-leg defeat to Pep Guardiola's side.

Mane, it has been alleged, punched his Bayern Munich teammate as the pair had to be pulled apart. Subsequently, he has apologised to the German international and his Bavarian teammates but as part of his punishment he was forced to sit out of their 1-1 draw with TSG Hoffenheim on Saturday.
