The former Liverpool forward was suspended and fined €500,000 (£442,000) by Bayern

Mane struggled to make an impact in his first season at Bayern and the altercation with Sane fuelled speculation that the Bundesliga champions would offload the 31-year-old this summer.

But Mane has played down the severity of his exchange with Sane and says he is intent on remaining at Bayern.

‘This kind of thing can happen. It happened. We were able to solve this small problem,’ Senegalese television station 2sTV when asked about his bust-up with Sane.

‘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.’

Mane has also been linked with a move away from Bayern this summer but when asked about his future he replied: ‘God willing. If everything goes well, I’m going to return to Bayern.’
