Thomas Tuchel: Sadio Mane has fallen short of expectations at Bayern Munich

<p>

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel says Sadio Mane has "fallen short of expectations" since his arrival at the club. </p>

<p>

Mane's move from Liverpool now has question marks floating around it after a poor first season in Bavaria. The Senegal international started only 18 times in the league and scored seven goals. </p>

<p>

He also had a well-publicised bust-up with teammate Leroy Sane in April, which left Sane with a bloody lip. The 31-year-old was given a record fine for the club and suspended for one game. </p>

<p>

Owing to poor form and his off-the-field misdemeanours the Reds great has fallen in the pecking order behind Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry, with Tuchel saying the side already has its "constellation". </p>

<p>

"Basically, Sadio had an unsatisfactory season and fell short of expectations," said the Bayern boss. </p>

<p>

"The competitive situation is extremely high for him with Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry, we have a constellation which makes it very difficult for Sadio. The player knows that too, he knows my opinion and the opinion of the club." </p>

<p>

Mane is being linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq, who have Liverpool great Steven Gerrard at the helm and are reportedly also looking to sign several former and current Reds including Jordan Henderson and Philippe Coutinho. </p>
