"It's time to learn Chinese buddy", "Have to let him go" - Fans want Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr teammate sold despite Damac win

Al-Nassr fans took to X to express their discontent with Cristiano Ronaldo's teammate Sadio Mane's performance against Damac. The Knights of Njad enjoyed a 2-0 win in the Saudi Pro League on November 29 courtesy of Ronaldo's brace, but supporters were unconvinced with the winger's performance.

One fan made a hilarious remark, tweeting:

"Sadio Màne, it's time to learn Chinese buddy."

Another one suggested that he needed to find an exit from the club, typing:

"Sorry but we have to let Sadio Mane go"

Here are some fan reactions:

Mane had a particularly forgettable outing before being taken off in the second half. He missed a great chance to add to the scoreline, finishing the game with just one shot, one passe into the final third, and no chances created.

It did not prove to matter much as Al-Nassr still eased to a comfortable 2-0 win. Cristiano Ronaldo bagged a goal in either half, taking his tally in the season to nine goals in 11 league games. He has now scored 915 for his overall career for club and country. The 39-year-old has looked in fine form and seems well-poised to hit the 1000-goal mark.

The victory enables the side to keep their faint hopes of winning Ronaldo's first league title in the Middle East. They currently find themselves in third, five points off Al-Ittihad at the top of the table, who have a game in hand.

Analysing Cristiano Ronaldo's goalscoring record in Saudi Arabia after he bags brace against Damac

Widely regarded as one of the greatest goalscorers in football history, Cristiano Ronaldo has carried over his brilliance into what is likely to be his last chapter in the game.

He has made 58 appearances in the Saudi Pro League, collecting an impressive 58 goals and 15 assists in that period. This includes a brilliant 2023-24 campaign, his first full year in the Middle East, where his 35 goals in 31 games saw him finish as the league's top scorer and breaking the league's single-season goalscoring record.

This season, Cristiano Ronaldo has picked up right where he left off and has 15 goals in 18 games for Al-Nassr. This includes nine goals in the league, which see him second in the goalscoring charts, behind Aleksandr Mitrovic's 12 goals. He has netted four times in four games in the the AFC Champions League Elite and twice in two games in the Saudi Super Cup.
