Father of Sadio Mane’s bride, Amadou Tamba, has revealed that the former Liverpool forward and his daughter never dated before they got married.
Mane recently married 18-year-old Aisha Tamba in a traditional Islamic ceremony, ahead of Senegal’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, campaign.
Speaking in a recent interview (via Mirror), Tamba said:
“My wife and Aisha visited their (Mane’s) family one day, and this is where he met her for the first time.
“He probably saw something special in her and his parents appreciated her as well. They came to see me.
“We discussed as per the tradition, agreed on everything and waited for this day to happen. They were not dating because Aisha was still young.”
He added, “I knew that Sadio and all his family are very good and humble people. Sadio is just the reflection of his family.”
