Senegalese forward, Sadio Mane has joined the 68th anniversary celebrations of Saudi Arabian club, Al-Nassr FC.

The 31-year-old, who joined the Knights of Najd in the summer transfer window, is enjoying a good start to life in the Saudi Pro League.

Mane has already netted six goals, provided two assists in ten league games, and scored his maiden goal in the AFC Champions League in the victory over Al-Duhail.

In celebrating the 68th anniversary of the club, Al-Nassr reimaged their current stars to look like players from when the club was established.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Anderson Talisca, and Mane were some of the players who had their photos reimaged into old-school style.

"Winning days at Victory Arena since 68 years. Al-Nassr 68 years. Happy anniversary to all the fans out there," wrote Mane on social media.

Al-Nassr bounced back from defeats in their opening two matches of the league and are now on a run of eight games unbeaten.

The Saudi giants sit top of Group E in the AFC Champions League after three wins in three games, as reported by ESPN.

Mane buys French lower-tier club

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Mane has become the new owner of the French Championnat National 2 club, Bourges Foot 18.

The Al-Nassr star completed the takeover of the club on Tuesday morning and has now been confirmed the majority stakeholder of the French outfit.

Mane becomes the latest footballer to buy a club after N'Golo Kante invested in Belgian third-tier side Royal Excelsior Virton.

Mane scores first AFC Champions League goal

Sports Brief also reported that Mane finally registered his name on the list of goal scorers in the Asian Champions League after netting his maiden goal in Al-Nassr's victory over Al-Duhail.

The Senegal forward gave his side a two-goal lead in the second half before a dramatic finish led to a 4-3 win for the Saudi Pro League giants.

Cristiano Ronaldo added a brace to Anderson Talisca's strike despite the visitors giving Al-Nassr a late scare in the thrilling encounter.
