Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane both transforming home villages in heroic acts of kindness

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane have both pledged thousands of pounds to charity in recent years to transform their local villages.

Liverpool forward Salah, 30, was born in Nagrig - a village near the Egyptian city Basyoun. His club team-mate Mane, who is on the verge of completing a move to Bayern Munich, was born in the village of Bambali - located in the Sedhiou department of Senegal.

Mane, also 30, recently visited Bambali after spending almost £750,000 on new buildings - including a hospital, school, post office and petrol station. The hospital, which cost £455,000 to build, serves 34 nearby villages. Bambali has a population of around 2,000.
