Former Teammate of Sadio Mane Reveals Shocking Truth About the Forward
In 2019, Sadio Mané, then a Liverpool player, was the target of mockery on social media because his phone had a cracked screen.
A few weeks after this controversy, the Senegalese international shared a video showing his new device: an iPhone 11 Pro, which he presented as a gift from his teammate Wijnaldum.
“Look, Wijnaldum gave me a brand new phone, an iPhone 11,” Mané said at the time.
However, five years later, Wijnaldum has corrected the record by claiming that he never gave his former teammate a phone. “Everyone thinks I gave Sadio Mane an iPhone, but that's not true,” he clarified.
He added: “The phone wasn't even mine. I had just found it in the locker room and, as Sadio was being teased about his broken phone, I handed it to him just for fun. It was just a joke between us.”
This revelation by Wijnaldum was broadcast by the media ESPNUK on Instagram, sparking many reactions. The details of this confidence are available below (slide 2).
