It took Sadio Mane just 255 seconds to score on his Bayern Munich debut.

Bayern's first game since the departure of Robert Lewandowski came against Major League Soccer strugglers DC United on Wednesday night.

DC United had lost 11 of their last 17 MLS games going into the friendly at Audi Field.

So it came as little surprise that German champions Bayern were dominant right from the start before running out as 6-2 winners.

Teenage striker Lucas Copado won an early penalty which presented Mane with a golden chance to get off the mark.

Mane converted from the spot... but only just, after his shot deflected into the roof of the net via the gloves of goalkeeper Jon Kempin.

Marcel Sabitzer made it 2-0 with a strike from long range, before Mane assisted Serge Gnabry for goal no.3.

Mane - who had been wearing the no.17 jersey for the first time in his career - was subbed off at half time as Bayern made wholesale changes.

On came fellow summer signing Matthijs de Ligt and, just like Mane, he scored almost instantly.

De Ligt made it 4-0 just 94 seconds into his Bayern bow when he thundered a left-footed volley into the net after Leon Goretzka's corner has been flicked on by Thomas Muller.

Joshua Zirkzee and Muller added further goals for Bayern.

Skage Simonsen Lehland and Theodore Ku-DiPietro netted consolation strikes for DC United.
