Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has claimed that a breakdown in “communication” and “trust” led to Sadio Mane punching Leroy Sane in a dressing room bust-up.
Mane hit his team-mate in the face after Bayern Munich’s 3-0 defeat to City in the Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Etihad last week.
The Senegal forward was then dropped for their 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga and fined more than £250,000.
Wenger has explained how he would have dealt with the situation.
“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’,” Wenger said on beINSPORT.
