BAYERN MUNICH star Leroy Sane confirmed his family still lives in Manchester.
Sane enjoyed immense success during his four-year stint at Manchester City but left in 2020 for Bayern.

However, City fans started to hope that the winger was on his way back to the Etihad after his wife Candice Brook an their children Rio Stella and Milo moved back to the UK.
There were reports suggesting that the Germany international also left his country and was “commuting” to Munich.
However, the 27-year-old denied those claims and revealed that his Bavarian home was being renovated, which meant that it was not habitable for his family.
That is why the German’s wife and kids temporarily moved back to their flat in Manchester until construction is complete.
Sane said: “Unfortunately, there was complex renovation work at my house, so it was not habitable.
“My wife and the kids returned to our old apartment in Manchester.
“But my wife hasn’t moved to Manchester permanently, as soon as the renovation in Munich is done, she will come back with our kids.”
This comes after sensational reports suggesting Sane and Bayern team-mate Sadio Mane had a scuffle after Tuesday’s 3-0 loss to City in the Champions League.
According to BILD, the two forwards had a heated altercation during the match after a moment of miscommunication.
Tensions are said to have boiled up at full-time once the players returned to the dressing room and started yelling at each other.
Mane was allegedly upset with the way the ex-City star spoke to him during the game.
Then the Liverpool hero got so furious that he punched Sane in the face and left a mark on his lip, reports say.

The former Premier League stars then got into a heated altercation that forced their team-mates to separate them.
It got so serious that Sane had to be escorted out of the locker room as the coaching staff tried to calm the situation down, witnesses reported.
Bayern refused to comment on that report after the team departed from England.
