How to set INCAR to distinguish Mn3+ and Mn4+ in the same system?

I want to do a relaxation of Li2MnO4, which has both Mn3+ and Mn4+ . Is there a POTCAR of Mn that include both of them? or What should I set in the INCAR to distinguish them in order to obtain different electron structures corresponding to each of them ?

Actually there is no difference between Mn+4 and Mn+3 pseudo-potentials.

u may use different MAGMOMs for those ions. This is the only way that I know.
