Sadio Mané collects sympathy points from the fans - both with the megaphone in the fan corner and in the regional league game.

Will he succeed Franck Ribéry among the fans?

Munich – Sadio Mané has only been in Munich for a few weeks – but he seems to have settled in well.

In terms of play, the balance sheet has been good so far: in the first competitive game against RB Leipzig, the Senegalese also scored his first goal for Bayern.

At the start of the season in the Bundesliga against Eintracht Frankfurt, FC Bayern then ignited an offensive firework display.

Even the "Kaiser" was enthusiastic about the Bayern squad.

"I refuse title congratulations.

But I haven't seen such desire, such a performance for a long time," Franz Beckenbauer told the "Bild" newspaper after Bayern's exhilarating start.

Mané scored in the 6-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

The 30-year-old scored his first Bundesliga goal after 29 minutes to make it 3-0.

Mané thrilled the fans at his Bundesliga premiere

But even off the field, Africa's footballer of the year proved with his actions that he is a real main prize for FC Bayern.

He was again down to earth and approachable for the fans – after all, he said before that he doesn't see himself as a world star.

After the game against Eintracht Frankfurt, he was the only Munich player to climb the fence to celebrate with the supporters who had traveled with them.

Mané was handed a megaphone by the FCB Ultras and immediately began to animate the fans with chants.

A successful premiere in the fan curve!

FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann also liked the action of his new star striker: "The energy you can feel is the most beautiful thing.

It was great that the boys were celebrating with the fans.

Sadio on the fence, you can feel a very, very good energy there," said Nagelsmann at 

DAZN.

 On Twitter, the fans were enthusiastic about how quickly Mané has settled in at the club: "Mané is already firmly with us.

No one has ever settled in so quickly.

Can't believe that guy."

Mané supports the FC Bayern amateurs

Mané made a name for himself last Sunday when he attended a regional league game.

Together with his buddy Desire Segbe Azankpo he sat in the stands at the regional league match of FC Bayern amateurs against Aschaffenburg.

He even shared Justin Janitzek's goal to make it 1-0 on Instagram - giving him a decent social media reach of more than 12 million followers.

What a stage for the only 18-year-old Bayern youngster Janitzek!

In the end it was only enough for the amateurs to 1:1.

After the game, Mané took time for his fans and fulfilled numerous autograph and photo requests.

In Munich it is now being discussed whether Mané could become the legitimate successor to Franck Ribéry – because he was also very popular with the fans.
