The Senegalese artist caused a wave of ridicule after he showed a sculpture of his compatriot Sadio Mane, the star of the national team of Senegal and Bayern Munich, which he carved.
Sportsbrief highlighted the artist’s statue using one of Manet’s shots during his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations (Cameroon 2021).

The site indicates that the artist (whose name is not mentioned) lives in the city of Bambali, which is the birthplace of the “Lion Tirang”.
It seems that this statue did not impress the followers on social networks, especially since Manet appeared in it with sharp features.
And the Sport Priv website confirmed that Bayern Munich fans are not satisfied with this statue, since it does not match the characteristics of Manet.
Mane is highly respected in his country, especially since he is one of the stars of world football, as well as his achievements at the international level in 2022.
Lev Terenga led his country to the African Cup of Nations crown for the first time in his history in his last edition after defeating his Egyptian counterpart.
