FC Bayern: Matthäus puzzles over the position of the superstar – "Where should Mané play?"

Sadio Mané will switch to Bayern Munich.

An outstanding transfer for Lothar Matthäus.

But the Sky expert asks a question.

Munich – It should be on Wednesday at the latest: Sadio Mané will switch to Bayern Munich and the record champions will make a real mega transfer.

In total, the record champions have to shell out a reported 32 million to free the attacker from Liverpool FC.

“The signing of Sadio Mané

is fantastic.

And not just for FC Bayern, but for the entire Bundesliga,” Lothar Matthäus enthuses in his

column about the Munich signing: “It’s just great that such a great footballer will play in our league.”

However, Matthäus also has a very crucial question that could probably also give Julian Nagelsmann sleepless nights: In which position should Mané play?

"Should he act as a real centre-forward for Lewandowski?" Matthäus asks: "I don't really see him there."

The 60-year-old sees Mané more on the left wing.

"Or are Bayern preparing for the departure of Serge Gnabry?

If Gnabry and Lewandowski stayed, there would be an oversupply, because Müller, Sane and Musiala are still there," Matthäus correctly states.

One who Matthäus has repeatedly taken in the crossfire of criticism in the recent past receives great praise from the

expert after the Mané transfer: "Respect and congratulations to everyone who was involved in this transfer to Munich!" especially Hasan Salihamidzic feel addressed.

Matthäus had repeatedly criticized the FCB sports board for the composition of the squad.

In the meantime, even his son Nick jumped to the side of Brazzo on Twitter.

This felt confirmed after the Mané deal, but it aroused the displeasure of some Bayern fans.
