The content from the Liverpool FC sponsor and its retained global creative agency, Zak, shows how the prolific forward seized his opportunity. Turning up to a trial on a new continent.

Featured in the film are young actors who tell Mané's story. New Balance hopes the spot inspires youngsters by unravelling the Champions League winner's story.

The work, dubbed #Unreal, is being distributed across Mané's and New Balance Football’s social channels as part of a wider product-led campaign.
