Bayern Munich Muslim star Sadio Mane looks awkward as team-mates raise a pint for traditional Oktoberfest photoshoot... with fans praising the former Liverpool man for 'staying true to his beliefs'

Bayern Munich have posed for their traditional Oktoberfest photoshoot by raising a pint of Paulaner beer, but summer signing Sadio Mane opted against joining in with his team-mates due to his religious beliefs.

The former Liverpool winger is a practicing Muslim, and therefore abstains from drinking alcohol.

Although he did look a little awkward at the event, Mane still took his place in the front row alongside the rest of the squad dressed in Lederhosen, and he has received plenty of praise from fans on social media for not being pressured into holding a beer and remaining true to his religion.
