In a video that has since gone viral on social media, an excited Mane warmly embraced Henderson as the duo shared a friendly moment together.

Mane and Henderson won several trophies together, including the English Premier League and the FA Cup.

The 31-year-old has already made his debut for Al Nassr, helping the club reach the semi-final of the Arab Club Champions Cup alongside the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo.

Meanwhile, Henderson is yet to make an appearance for Al Ettifaq following his move to the Saudi club.

Another ex-Liverpool star and a member of the 2019 UEFA Champions League winning team in Saudi Arabia is Fabinho, who signed for Al-Ittihad from the English giants, as reported by the BBC.

The Saudi Pro League has seen the arrival of several English Premier League stars, including ex-Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez.

Mane delivers powerful speech

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Senegalese forward Sadio Mane has charged his new teammates at Al Nassr to challenge for all trophies available following his move to the Saudi Pro League.

The 31-year-old signed a four-year deal to join Al Nassr from German giants Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.

Mane travelled to Saudi on Tuesday to complete his move before meeting his new teammates on Wednesday.

Mane joins Al Nassr

After days of speculation, Sadio Mane has completed his move to Saudi Arabia side Al-Nassr from Bayern Munich.

Mane's exit from Bayern was on the cards earlier this summer after manager Thomas Tuchel publically questioned his performances.

The 31-year-old spent just one season in Germany, and his altercation with Leroy Sane and injuries hampered his season. He leaves Bayern with a Bundesliga title.
