Sadio Mane scored his first goal for Bayern Munich just five minutes into his first appearance for the club following his big money move from Liverpool.
Bayern are out in the United States for a pre-season tour and faced Major League Soccer side D.C United, under new boss Wayne Rooney, at Audi Field on Wednesday. And it didn't take long for the former Liverpool forward to make his mark as he gave the Bundesliga outfit the lead after just five minutes from the penalty spot.
The 30-year-old then set up Serge Gnabry for Bayern's third goal of the game as they went on to win 6-2. Their other new signing Matthijs de Ligt was also among the goals following his arrival from Juventus.

Mane scored an impressive 120 goals in his six years on Merseyside and he'll hope to produce similar numbers for his new club in Germany. He joined Bayern on a three-year deal last month for a fee that could rise to £35m.
Following the departure of Robert Lewandowski, Mane may need to fill the void of the Poland international. Lewandowski, who has signed for Barcelona, scored 50 goals in 46 appearances for Bayern in all competitions last season, taking his total for the eight years he spent at the Allianz Arena to a remarkable 344.
Mane will have another chance to impress this weekend when Bayern travel to Wisconsin to face Premier League side Manchester City at Lambeau Field. City are a familiar prospect for the Senegalese having scored 10 goals against them in all competitions during his time at Liverpool and Southampton.
For Liverpool, their pre-season preparations ramp up this week with a trip to Germany and Austria to face Red Bull sides Leipzig and Salzburg. The Reds themselves will then take on City next weekend in the Community Shield.
