Senegal won the Africa Cup of Nations 2021 edition after defeating Egypt in the final.
Liverpool winger Sadio Mane scored the match-winning penalty in the penalty shootout to win it for his side.
Mo Salah was made to pay for opting to wait to take the fifth penalty, only to see his teammates miss two out of their four efforts.
While no Man United player was involved in the game, that didn’t stop United fans from watching the game.

Here is how some reacted to Redcafe.
Oranges038: “Salah waiting to be the hero. No point crying now. Go first and get it on the board.”
AnnihilateNow: “The drama… You have to say fair play to anyone who steps up to take a penalty in that sort of scenario. I could never do it. Unpopular it may be, but really feel for Salah, would have been a crowning achievement for an incredible year.”
Djembatheking: “Love to see Salah crying.”
Topgun1: “Fantastic final. Two solid teams. Senegal is the better team I thought. Great shootout, great win for Senegal for their first time. And it’s very fitting for Mane to be the one leading his team to glory for the first time and scoring the winning penalty! It’s moments like this that make it clear why (unfortunately) Liverpool won both the PL & CL in recent years. They have both Mane & Salah who both spearheaded their respective teams to the AFCON Final.”
WeePat: “Mendy registered for unemployed aged 22. CL and AFCON winner a couple of years later. Hollywood stuff.”
Gringo: “Always want the team not to have won it, win it. So pleased for Senegal. Karma for Carlos Queiroz. Feel for Gabaski though as he had a great game.”
