There is a difference though. Manzala is currently playing at a higher standard than what Thiam was playing at and was a regular starter. I don’t remember reading twitter and seeing a barrage of don’t leave Mamadou. It was as if he’d never existed in France. Manzala is different and according to some was courted by a fair few teams across the Championship and Europe. Time will tell, I’m not going to make any major assumption based on a 2 minute YouTube clip.
