Since Sadio Mane announced that he will change the golden dyed stripe in his hair to red if Bayern Munich win the Champions League this season, business has reportedly boomed at hairdressers across the city.
Mane has improved Bayern ‘from the first day’, says Nagelsmann

MUNICH

The 10-time defending German Bundesliga champions wasted little time in moving for the former Liverpool favourite this summer when it was clear their previous top striker Robert Lewandowski was on his way to Barcelona.

The Pole broke multiple records during his eight-season stint at Bayern, becoming the club’s second all-time scorer after Gerd Muller, but he has been swiftly replaced by Mane in the hearts of Bayern fans.

The Senegal forward’s shirt has become a bestseller in the club shops, and the 30-year-old is also on his way to becoming the most popular figure in Munich.

Having spent two seasons at RB Salzburg until 2014, Mane already speaks some German, easing his transition from the English Premier League to the Bundesliga, and he has endeared himself to the home faithful by taking a bullhorn to conduct their songs.
