18-year-old Aisha Tamba, who is the new wife of Sadio Mane, was warmly welcomed as she returned to her school a day after tying the knot with the Senegalese footballer.

The former Liverpool star married Tamba in an Islamic ceremony on January 7 in Keur Massar, a suburb in the capital city of Dakar, just six days before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations on January 13.

The marriage took place in Aisha's home and was attended by family and close friends.

Her father Amadou Tamba revealed afterwards that his daughter is 18 and that Mane, 31, first set eyes on her 'more than two years ago' when she went to visit his family with her mother.
