Mario Mandzukic: 'I never doubted myself'

Mario Mandzukic has insisted that he was always confident of being a success at Bayern Munich.

When the Croatian international joined Bayern during the summer from Wolfsburg, the move was met with scepticism from certain quarters.

However, the 26-year-old has gone on to score 14 goals in the Bundesliga so far this season.

"I have always believed in myself and was convinced from the start that I could go on a run like this," he told the club's official website.

The striker has added a further two goals to his tally in other competitions.
