Here are three reasons why Sadio Mane decided to walk Aisha down the aisle;
1. Aisha has been Mane’s longtime choice
Pulse Sports exclusively gathered that Mane has known Aisha since her teenage years, even though the exact time the couple started dating remains unknown.
The Al-Nassr forward had made his intentions clear from the very beginning that he wanted to marry Aisha.
Both Mane and Aisha have come a long way since their childhood days and it was only befitting that their love story culminated the way it did - in a lovely union.
2. Mane’s long-term investment
Like the aforementioned point, Mane has known Aisha for long and he was clear about his intention for her.
Mane has also been responsible for paying Aisha’s bills while she was a student at Cabis School in Grand Mbao Baobab, Senegal.
Pulse Sports gathered that Mane’s beautiful bride Aisha, although the daughter of an architect, is from a humble and modest background in West African country Senegal.
Now 31 years of age, Sadio Mane decided to seal his love affair with his long-term partner, as he leads Senegal to defend their title at the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
3. Similar values
