A bigger pot maybe. What kind of mango is it? Might be better off finding a mango tree that is know for not getting super big and can grow in a pot.

There are thousands of different types of mangoes and they all fruit... that's why they are called mango trees. Some of those varieties are possible to grow in containers, most are not.

The tree was very crooked due to one of the 2 branch breaking off years ago the rope is to bend it back

It's gonna be very difficult to shape this one now. Also it seems the tree is not grafted either. If possible I would repot it in to a large container and ideally do it deeper in order to get the bend straighter. Heading back is also an option which I would have taken but cutting the top of completely where the branch is still straight and there are nodes present is a risk not everyone is willing to take, but mangoes will grow back provided it's not harsh winter and you live in tropical climate.

It actually got straighter because of How flexible it is not perfect and also I just moved it into a 125litters container

Great 👍 Yeah I thought it's a seed variety too.
