Oliver Bierhoff draws attention to himself with a prediction regarding Bayern's starting lineup, which will also have consequences for two German internationals.

Munich – Oliver Bierhoff evaluates the squad situation at FC Bayern after the completed Mané transfer and looks primarily at Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sané.

In the opinion of the managing director of the national teams, the two DFB players will have fewer playing times due to the signing of Sadio Mané, which is causing Bierhoff a headache, especially with regard to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

In the

, Bierhoff classifies the move from Mané to Munich as a clear royal transfer and as a result also certifies that the Senegalese have a regular place: "You have to assume that Sadio Mané is a top transfer at the beginning." and Bayern players Bastian Schweinsteiger and Philipp Lahm congratulate FCB on the transfer coup.

Schweinsteiger speaks on Twitter of a "reinforcement for Julian Nagelsmann's system."

However, Bierhoff does not only see positive things in this reinforcement.

This is mainly due to the fact that in his function as managing director of the German national team he is naturally concerned that the DFB kickers get as much playing time as possible in their clubs.

Exactly this is now becoming much more difficult for the two wingers Gnabry and Sané due to the top-class competition.

Bierhoff lets the desire for changes shine through

That shouldn't suit Bierhoff at all, who advises every national player to collect as much playing time as possible before the World Cup in Qatar.

Referring to the situation at FC Bayern and the expected regular place from Sadio Mané, Bierhoff continues: "Every player has to be aware of this situation and decide for himself what is best for his own situation and development." Nothing sounds like that Request to Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sané to accept the competition on Säbener Straße at any price.

And at least at Gnabry there is already some speculation about his near future, including rumors of a move to Manchester United.

However, those responsible at Bayern would also have to play their part, because true to the club motto

, FC Bayern is the next one at the end of the day and so there are already rumors that Gnabry will be banished to the stands.

Bierhoff is more likely to advocate the assumption of competition.
