Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a huge fan of the 34-year-old and feels his presence at the club will be useful to the younger players in the team. Although, the decision to keep him at the club haven't gone down well with fan who vented angrily on different social medias. Some of the tweet reads; "How the might have fallen..

With Algeria, he was simply unstoppable, he created more chances than Mane and Salah combined and scored the needed goals to send Algeria through to the final of the tournament. His goal against Nigeria was sensational.
Facing Senegal with Mane in it wasn't easy though but Mahrez did his best and won the AFCON for the Desert Foxes.
Sadly, just like skewed Ballon d'Or which Lionel Messi won the Africa Footballer of the Year is now been compromised which frankly is a big shame.
