Thomas Tuchel believes Sadio Mane can still emerge as a key player for Bayern Munich and is only a goal away from transforming his fortunes.
When Mane made the move from Liverpool to Bavaria last summer, it was seen as a transfer home run for the German champions. The Senegalese star was coming off one of the best seasons of his career and was acquired for the relatively modest outlay of £35million.
But while his absence on Merseyside has been profoundly felt, his impact at the Allianz Arena has left a lot to be desired. A combination of injuries and poor form has resulted in him finding the net just 11 times in his first 29 Bayern appearances.
