Sadio Mane is a newly-married man after sealing the knot with 18-year-old girlfriend Aisha Tamba this 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.

Mane jetted off to join up with the Senegal squad for the competition but stopped off on the way to marry Tamba, with the pair keeping their relationship secret until they were married.

The event was said to have been attended by family, friends and fellow footballers.
