Bayern Munich striker Sadio Mane has broken his silence on his bust-up with teammate Leroy Sane - and his future in Germany.

Mane infamously clashed with Sane after their Champions League defeat to Manchester City last season. The pair had to be separated by teammates and left Sane with a bloodied lip.

Speaking to reporters in his homeland, he said: "This kind of things can happen. It happened. We were able to solve this small problem.

"Sometimes it's good to solve problems, but maybe not in this way. It's behind us now. We'll try to fight together to help the club achieve its goals next season.

"I'm on vacation with the family. It was a very complicated season, it happens. It wasn't a surprise, I expected things to be a bit complicated. It's normal.

"I love challenges, and Bayern is a big challenge. It's up to me to do everything to meet this challenge."

The former Liverpool striker has been linked with a return to England, where Newcastle United and Chelsea are keen.

But Mane added: "God willing. If everything goes well, I'm going to return to Bayern."
