    WHAT HAPPENED?

    A report by the Daily Mail revealed that the Al-Nassr star and his new wife will have to put their marriage celebrations on hold for the time being. Mane, currently away with Senegal at the African Cup of Nations (AFCON), had been hoping to have his honeymoon after the tournament, but he may have to wait. According to Mane's best friend, Moussa Ndiaye, the parents of Aisha, who is still in school, wish for her to complete her final exams before the newly-wedded couple go away.

  • WHAT NDIAYE SAID

    Ndiaye told the MailOnline:"Sadio was hoping to have a honeymoon at some point either after the final, if Senegal get there or before, if they are eliminated.

    "But Aisha's family want her to remain focused on her education. She has very important exams comping up and they don't want this marriage getting in the way.

    "Even though she is now married to Sadio, who is the most famous man in Senegal, she is still a schoolgirl and needs to complete her studies."
