Al-Nassr forward Sadio Mane made a strong impression on a local Senegalese fan after meeting him on the streets of Dakar.

In the video shared by ESPN on Instagram, Mane did not ignore the local fan, who was busy singing the player's praises.

The Al-Nassr winger hugged and shook hands with the Senegalese fan whilst consoling him.

Mane has impressed since joining Al-Nassr from Bayern Munich this summer. He has formed a formidable partnership with Ronaldo.

The 31-year-old is expected to resume national team duty as the Teranga Lions take on Rwanda in a dead-rubber Africa Cup of Nations qualifier scheduled for September 9, Sofa Score reports.

The reigning champions have already secured their place in the tournament to be hosted by Ivory Coast in January next year.

They top Group L in the qualifying series with 13 points from five matches. Mozambique are on seven while Benin are third with 5 - both teams will jostle for the other ticket in the group.

Rwanda are bottom with 2 points.

Mane Involved in Altercation With Brazilian Defender

Sports Brief earlier reported that Mane drew a lot of reactions from fans after being involved in a furious altercation with Brazilian defender Iago Santos during Al-Nassr's 4-0 win over Al-Shabab in the Saudi Pro League.

Mane scored a brace alongside former Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo in the game but was involved in a moment of madness in the game after Santos tackled him.

Both players exchanged words and pushed each other but were separated by the linesman, which stopped the issue from escalating.
