Detailed Solution

Fluoride cannot stabilise the high oxidation states as effectively as oxygen can. MnF4 is the highest Mn fluoride, whereas Mn2O7 is the highest Mn oxide.
Fluorine is unable to form multiple bonds with metals, whereas oxygen is capable of doing so. As a result, oxygen has a greater capacity than fluorine to stabilise higher oxidation states.
