In a video shared on social media, Mane lost his cool after a decision was taken against him with Senegal on an attacking move. The ex-Liverpool winger blasted the ball into the air before furiously talking at the referee, who showed him the yellow card.

Senegal secured early Africa Cup of Nations qualification and rounded up the qualifiers with a 1-1 draw against Rwanda.

The AFCON holders have started preparations ahead of the defence of their title in Ivory Coast next year.

Meanwhile, Mane is expected to return to Saudi Arabia to rejoin his Al Nassr teammates ahead of the resumption of the league.

Mane has scored five goals in five games for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, as reported by Transfermarkt.

Mane offers Amara Diouf advise

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Al Nassr forward, Sadio Mane has advised promising star, Amara Diouf, to ignore interests from top clubs and join French outfit FC Metz.

Mane started his career abroad with the Ligue 1 club, going on to become a legendary figure in his country, Senegal.

Diouf, who won the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal, became the youngest player to make his debut for the Teranga Lions, coming on as a second-half substitute in the AFCON qualifier against Rwanda, at just 15 years and 94 days.
