Rummenigge slams Bayern Munich: Mane and De Ligt NOT world class

Former Bayern Munich chief exec Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is critical of new signing Sadio Mane.

Rummenigge admits he's been left underwhelmed by the arrivals of former Liverpool striker Mane and Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus.

“Why have Hasan Salihamidzic and company been praised lately for their summer transfers? Honestly, I can't be part of this cheering chorus," writes Rummenigge for Sportbuzzer.

"With all due respect to Sadio Mané and Matthijs de Ligt - but in my opinion neither of them are world-class players. Of course Mané will do well in the Bundesliga and score his goals, but at the age of 30 I don't see him being at absolute top level."
