Sadio Mané full of praise for Mbaye! | OneFootball

Sadio Mané, the 33-year-old forward from Senegal and Al-Nassr (after a long spell at Liverpool), was in the mixed zone yesterday after the 1-1 draw against DR Congo on Matchday 2 of the 2025 AFCON. He was notably asked to comment on the explosive debut of Ibrahim Mbaye, the 17-year-old Paris Saint-Germain striker.

Mané: “An exceptional player.”

Such confidence shown by an iconic player of the national team can only help Mbaye adapt within the group and the style of play. While he still has some aspects to refine in his game, particularly in his decision-making near the box, the PSG striker above all shows significant potential.

It’s no coincidence that he has earned the trust of Parisian coach Luis Enrique, and then opportunities with Senegal. These are major milestones, but not the end goal. There is still much to accomplish and improve. Mbaye will need to stay on the right path, with seriousness and hard work, to avoid regrets.
