Former Liverpool star Sadio Mane has made an exciting promise to Bayern Munich supporters.
Off the back of a stunning year with Liverpool, the Senegal international arrived at the Allianz Arena at the start of the summer transfer window. During his time on Merseyside, Mane won both the Champions League and Premier League.
But with just 11 goals in 29 games across all competitions, his output has not met the high expectations that many had in the summer, and he fell down the pecking order under former Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann.

On Saturday, he made a 21-minute cameo from off the bench as Bayern defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-2 in Thomas Tuchel's first match in charge.
And after the game, Mane was asked when Bayern fans might see the same player that was so influential at Liverpool. "Soon. I promise you,” he said in response.
Speaking over the weekend, Tuchel revealed he is confident that Mane can still produce his best form at Bayern.
He said: “I know him well from England. There's no question that Sadio is an absolutely top player. He scored 20, 30 goals every year for Liverpool and was an absolute key player there. His quality is beyond any doubt.
“Even at his age, it always takes time to acclimate after a change of clubs. That can take time. There's no doubt about his quality and what it can bring us.
“It's about trust and patience so he can get back into the rhythm. A goal usually helps the confidence.”
