Sadio Mane made light of jokes about his marriage to his 19-year-old bride Aisha Tamba, as Senegal's president Macky Sall hosted the national team ahead of the African Nations Cup.

The former Liverpool star married his 19-year-old girlfriend Aisha Tamba in a ceremony in Senegal last week.

The wedding is believed to have taken place on January 7 in Keur Massar, an area in the capital city of Dakar, just six days before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations on January 13.

Reports claim Aisha 'was long intended for the 31-year-old footballer since her teenage years' though it is not known exactly how long they have been dating.
