LIVERPOOL star Sadio Mane has been spotted visiting the construction site of a school he’s building in his hometown village in Senegal.
The Reds ace, 27, is funding the new school to the tune of £250,000 – having already paid for a hospital in the village.
Despite only just finished his 2018-19 season, thanks to Afcon duties, Mane is still not one for a holiday.
Instead, the former Southampton forward returned to Bambali, Senegal, to check on his school’s progress.
As well as the school and hospital, reports also claim Mane pays money every month to families in the village to help them get by.
The report suggests Mane hands out 50,000 CFA Francs – around £70 – as well as giving out free football kits to the local kids.
The heart-warming gesture has captured the attention of fans on Twitter, who praised Mane’s generosity.
REMEMBER YOUR ROOTS
One social media user wrote: “Great to see footballers doing great things off the pitch and thinking of others rather than being self-centred.”
Another said: “Being humble, remembering your roots costs nothing, you die with with your money or fancy things you buy, but you can change lives easy!”
A third simply added: “Absolutely love the man.”
