New Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel is excited to be working with former Liverpool striker Sadio Mane.

Mane has hit a rough patch at Bayern since the New Year, which saw him fall out with former coach Julian Nagelsmann.

But Tuchel says: "I know him well from England. There's no question that Sadio is an absolutely top player.

"He scored 20, 30 goals every year for Liverpool and was an absolute key player there. His quality is beyond any doubt.

"Even at his age, it always takes time to acclimate after a change of clubs. That can take time. There's no doubt about his quality and what it can bring us. It's about trust and patience so he can get back into the rhythm. A goal usually helps the confidence."
