Al-Nassr winger Sadio Mane has been spotted with a fan outside the mosque after the Jumaat prayers on Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The former Liverpool forward has settled in well in the Middle Eastern Nation since joining the Knights of Najd from Bayern Munich in the summer.

The Senegalese international has been one of the best players in the Saudi Pro League alongside his teammates Cristiano Ronaldo, Anderson Talisca, and Marcelo Brozovic.

In a video shared on social media, Mane is seen taking time to take a picture with a fan, who was also at the mosque for the traditional Jumaa prayer.

The former Bayern Munich winger is a devoted Muslim and has always used every opportunity to showcase his faith and participate in religious activities.

The Al-Nassr forward is also focused on his club's next game in the Saudi Pro League against Al-Khaleej at the Al-Awwal Park Stadium on Saturday, November 4, according to Soccerway.

Luis Castro's men need a win against Al-Khaleej to put more pressure on league leaders Al-Hilal.

Meanwhile, Sports Brief previously reported that Ronaldo was seen admiring Mane's gesture after scoring in one of Al-Nassr's games this season.

In a video seen on social media, Ronaldo was all smiles after seeing Mane doing the Sujood after scoring in one of Al-Nassr's games this season.

According to Al-Islam, Sujood is an Arabic word meaning prostration to God in the direction of the Ka'ba at Mecca, which is usually done during daily prayers.

Mane inspires Al-Nassr to victory

Sports Brief earlier reported that Mane's extra-time goal earned Al-Nassr victory in the Saudi King Cup of Champions round of 16 game against Al-Ettifaq at Al-Awwal Stadium.

Despite playing the rest of the match with a numerical disadvantage, the Knights of Najd progressed to the quarter-final with a hard-fought 1-0 win.

Leading scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo failed to hit the target but played an instrumental role in the victory at Al-Awwal Park.
