When Sadio Mane left Liverpool for Bayern Munich last summer, he would have been dreaming of winning further league titles in Bavaria. But not like this.
The Senegalese nearly helped fire the Reds to an unprecedented quadruple last season, with a domestic cup double at least ensuring he had won every major honour on offer to him before calling time on his Anfield career. Boasting 120 goals from 269 appearances, he is an undisputed Liverpool legend.
With Bayern Munich waving off a club legend of their own in Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona, the Bavarians wanted a marquee signing to replace the prolific Pole. Mane was that man.
