Legendary football manager, Arsene Wenger has claimed that a breakdown in 'communication' led to Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane's dressing room bust-up.
Mane punched his team-mate in the face after
Bayern's 3-0 defeat to City in the first leg of their Champions League
quarter-final at the Etihad last week.
He was then dropped for Bayern's 1-1 draw
with Hoffenheim and fined more than £250,000 by the Bundesliga giants for
punching team-mate Sane.
Sane was left with a bloodied lip after the
altercation while the former Liverpool winger was handed a fine that is
believed to be the largest in Bayern history.
In the wake of the incident, former Arsenal
manager Wenger has revealed how he would have dealt with the situation if he
were in charge.
Speaking on beIN SPORTS, Wenger said: 'There
is a rift in the team and the management inside the club has to sort it out.
The only way to sort this problem out is communication.
'You have to create trust and communication inside the dressing room. Most of the time when you have this
problem with two players, you take them into the office and you explain to them
that 'we cannot be successful if the players inside the team do not cooperate
well together'.
'That does not mean you have to love each
other. But it means that the superior interest of the team is over the personal
conflict of the players.'
