Mateus Mane puts out post after Wolves bust up with Tolu Arokodare

It comes after an incident following Wolves’ 4-0 defeat at West Ham.

Mateus Mane has spoken publicly for the first time after it was revealed he was involved in a dressing room bust-up with team-mate Tolu Arokodare.

The teenager was on the wrong end of a physical altercation following the 4-0 defeat to West Ham, in which Arokodare was the sole aggressor.

The incident was serious enough for Arokodare to be heavily fined by the club, while he was also an unused substitute at Leeds on Saturday.

After the news of the incident was revealed, Mane posted on his Instagram story a picture of him and Arokodare, tagging the striker with the caption 'big bro', alongside two emojis, including a heart emoji.

It was seemingly a show of support for his team-mate, despite the incident at the London Stadium that left fellow players and staff furious at Arokodare's behaviour.

The attacker, who only signed for Wolves in the summer, is now likely to leave the club in the coming months.
