The African superstar's future with the club remains up in the air as a result, with some reports suggesting the player wants to stay and fight for his place in the team, while others state that the club is now open to parting ways with the forward following what has been an underwhelming first campaign at the Allianz Arena.
Despite manager Thomas Tuchel recently insisting the issue has been put to bed, it appears tension resulting from the punch-up is still lingering.
According to Sky Germany, Mane is now viewed in a bad light by some of his teammates, who have begun to distance themselves from the former Liverpool star, although no names were given.
The 31-year-old is now believed to be a candidate to be sold in the next transfer window, with Tuchel said to have no plans to work with the forward next season, while there is also a feeling his performances so far in Germany have not justified the high wages he is getting.
Mane is believed to be determined to stay with the Bavarians, with whom he has a contract until 2025, but it appears that decision may be taken out of his hands.
