Mane congratulates Cristiano Ronaldo after ex-Man United star's late equaliser

Sadio Mane looks to have formed a quick bond with new team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo with the former Liverpool man taking to Instagram to congratulate him after his vital goal during his debut for Al-Nassr.

Mane made his first appearance for the Saudi Arabian side as he came off the bench with the team in desperate need of a goal to progress to the Arab Club Champions Cup quarter-final.

And they got the goal they needed in the dying stages as Ronaldo rose high to power in a trademark header.

Mane clearly enjoyed his first taste of playing with the footballing icon as he shared a picture with his arm around him during the match.

'Congrats for your goal big man @cristiano!!!,' he wrote alongside the image.

'On to the next round. thank @alnassr fans the support was amazing.'

A draw in the Kingdom meant that Al-Nassr held onto the second spot in Group C, and qualification to the next stage of the competition.

Al-Nassr confirmed the signing of Mane earlier this week for £34m, bringing the Senegal star's disastrous spell at Bayern Munich to an end.

The forward only moved to Bayern for £35m last year, but struggled to settle in Germany and scored just 12 goals for the club, while he also had a high-profile falling-out with teammate Leroy Sane.

Things came to a head for the Senegal star after he punched his then-team-mate Sane in the dressing room following their side's Champions League defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad.

Mane is the latest big-money recruit to the Saudi Pro League following an efficient summer transfer window that has seen a number of high-profile signings tempted to the Kingdom.
