Al-Nassr fans on X have criticized Cristiano Ronaldo's teammate Sadio Mane after he failed to make an impact during their 2-1 loss against Al-Ittihad. The two sides faced each other in the Saudi Pro League at the King Abdullah Sports City on Friday, December 6.

Mane had a massive opportunity to give his side the lead in the 39th minute when he found himself in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper. However, he decided to round the keeper before losing his footing, squandering the chance in the process.

Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema gave Al-Ittihad the lead in the 55th minute with a good shot that found the bottom-left corner. However, Cristiano Ronaldo leveled the scores for Al-Nassr two minutes later with a fine finish. Just when it seemed as if Ronaldo had rescued a point for his side, Steven Bergwijn netted in the first minute of stoppage time to seal all three points for the hosts.

Al-Nassr fans were already unhappy with Sadio Mane earlier this week after he struggled during their 2-1 defeat to Al-Sadd in the AFC Champions League. The former Liverpool winger failed to bounce back against Al-Ittihad and has been poor this season, garnering five goals and five assists in 23 appearances across competitions.

One fan posted:

"Sadio mane is the worst al nassr player in that team. His contract should be terminated and better foreign players should be signed."

Another fan tweeted:

"Sadio Mane is so washed lmao"

"Sadio Mane isn't as dangerous on the pitch as he used to," another added
"The difference in winning and losing this game was the quality of two wingers. Sadio Mané & Bergwijn," one fan pointed out
"Wash player .. Ronaldo is really trying at his age playing with this wash players," another chimed in
"Mane shouldn't start anymore. Missing a sitter in almost every match," another tweeted
