Mane warms hearts at Bafoussam hospital

The Sun now reports the Senegalese made an incredible gesture to a distraught family who had a patient at the same hospital he was receiving treatment in Bafoussam, western Cameroon.

According to the publication, the family's child had suffered terrible injuries after being hit by a motorbike and could not afford the medical expenses incurred.

Kind Mane is said to have caught wind of the heartbreaking news while in his hospital bed and offered to foot the entire medical bill.

Just how much did Mane offer the family?

The forward reportedly gave the family 400,000 CFA Francs which is equivalent to over £500 - enough to cater for the boy's entire hospital expenses.

"I think I told you about the generous gesture that Sadio Mané made in Bafoussam in favour of a family," declared a guest on the set of a Cameroonian channel, Equinoxetv, after the coronation of Senegal.
