Al Nassr Fans Mobbed Sadio Mane As He Visit The Mosque For Prayers

Senegalese forward, Sadio Mane continues to get showered with love on the streets of Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, following his move to Al Nassr.

The former Liverpool forward was ambushed by fans as he arrived for Friday prayer in a mosque in Riyadh.

The fans, who were excited to meet their idol, requested for photos and autographs from the Africa Player of the Year.

In a video shared on social media, Mane is seen taking time to attend to the needs of the group, who were also at the mosque for the traditional Jumaa prayer.

The 31-year-old is a devoted Muslim and actively participates in religious activities, wherever he finds himself.

The Al Nassr forward will be making his home debut later on Friday night, when the Knights of Najd welcome Al Taawuon at the Al-Awwal Park, as reported by Sporting News.

Mane, who captained the team in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo in the first game, saw his side lose narrowly to Al-Ettifaq despite scoring in that game.
