      The happy couple were pictured smiling following the low-key ceremony in Senegal which was attended by close friends and family.
      The pair met through Mane’s agent who was friends with Aisha’s construction boss dad when she was 16, it has emerged.
      Aisha’s dad Amadou Tamba said the pair was introduced “more than two years ago” but clarified his daughter is now 18 years old amid conflicting reports she is 19 years old.
      The couple is thought to have kept their relationship secret before their wedding but Mr Tamba also said they never dated before getting married.

      He told local Univers Info: “My wife and Aisha visited their (Mane’s) family one day, and this is where he met her for the first time.
      “He probably saw something special in her and his parents appreciated her as well. They came to see me.
      “We discussed as per the tradition, agreed on everything and waited for this day to happen.
      “They were not dating because Aisha was still young.”

      The marriage was reportedly agreed when Aisha was still at school but both families decided to wait until she reached 18 – with Mane taking care of her bills.
      Mr Tamba, a constructor, added: “With the values and all that she heard about him, she accepted voluntarily. But as parents we also guided and advised her to freely make up her mind. God did what’s best for her.”
      And friends of the family said Aisha’s dad is good friends with Mane’s uncle, who acted as a go-between between the two families for a formal marriage proposal to be made.
      The couple were introduced after her constructor dad Madou Tamba met with Sadio’s agent Bacary Cisse for a project.
      The ex-Bayern Munich footballer has funded a number of charitable construction projects in his hometown Bambali, including a school, a health centre, a post office and most recently a small football stadium.
      He has also provided laptops for the school, a 4G network for the entire community and £60 (70 euros) a month for every family in his old neighbourhood.
      The pair, who are from the same area in Senegal are seen grinning in photos surrounded by friends and family during the ceremony in Dakar.
      Snaps of the wedding were shared on Instagram and received more than 85,000 likes in less than 24 hours.
      Unlike her sports star spouse, Aisha appears to remain out of the spotlight and has no presence on social media.
      Speaking to local media following the wedding, Sadio admitted he was overjoyed after receiving so many congratulations.
      “Honestly, I am happy [with] the fact the president has congratulated me just as much as, well, I would say not just my team-mates,” he said.
      “I think that all the people have congratulated me and wished me [luck] so I am happy and I hope that it’ll be okay.”
      Mane also made light of jokes surrounding his marriage to his 18-year-old bride as Senegal’s president Macky Sall received the national squad ahead of AFCON.
      “First of all, I would like to warmly congratulate our national Nianthi, Sadio Mane, who has just got married,” Sall said.

      “I called him up so that we could applaud him and wish him a happy marriage.
      “May God bless your home and your descendants. From now on you have another job apart from scoring goals.”

      Jake Humphrey reveals why he left BT Sport and opens up on awful bullying he ‘would not wish on worst enemy’

      by

      JAKE HUMPHREY has revealed he quit BT Sport for his family – as he launched an attack on social media abuse and recalled childhood bullying he “would not wish on my worst enemy”.The presenter says he “struggles with the modern world” and gets a stomach-wrenching feeling when he drops his kids off at school – due to the “nasty” treatment he received in the same setting.

      The former Champions League broadcaster, 45, is now more focused on his High Performance podcast and also wrote How to Change Your Life.
      And he explained how he was “not always that comfortable” as a TV frontman, partly as “the lads-y banter thing is not for me”.
      The ex-BBC Formula One presenter admitted being ill at ease dealing with “firm opinions” on BT Sport, rather than more subtle debate.
      Humphrey told The Telegraph:  “I often felt I was doing High Performance all week, and empathy and understanding and leaning into people. Then, on Saturday, I was having conversations about sacking managers and dropping players, criticising decisions made by referees.

      “I’d been dreaming for a long time, but not brave enough to take a leap.”
      He is also aghast at how toxic life online can be, having spoken out against “chauvinistic and nasty bullying” received by presenter Karen Carney.
      Humphrey said of trolling: “I think you would be a sociopath or something if it didn’t get through the armour sometimes.
      “I’ve always thought that if you just let this stuff go you are as complicit as anybody.

      “The only place that reaction happens is on Twitter. No one has ever stopped me in the street and said it… I just feel exactly like I felt when I got bullied at school.”
      The former children’s game show presenter then relived some of the abuse he got at secondary school.
      He said: “When we drop the kids off, I still get the feeling in the pit of my stomach when I see them walking off with the bag over their shoulder.
      “It still triggers me to this day… God, the feeling of having to do that day after day after day, knowing what awaited. 
      “There were these two buses in the school car park and I’d go and sit in there on my own and just have my lunch.”
      Humphrey also believes his school’s handling of the matter only made him feel worse.
      He added: “At that age, particularly at that time, people didn’t really know how to deal with it. 
      “I was asked to stand up in assembly and the teacher said, ‘Can people stop bullying this guy?’ That just brings more heat.” More
