Manchester United's Hannibal Mejbri pokes fun at Mohamed Salah as Liverpool player sees funny side
Hannibal Mejbri only played eight minutes for Tunisia during the memorable victory over Egypt on Tuesday night - but the Manchester United youngster made his mark when poking fun at Mohamed Salah.
Goals from Aissa Laidouni and Hamza Rafia - either side of Egypt player Hamdi Faith turning one into his own net - settled the scores for Tunisia as Salah and his teammates were humbled on home turf. Omar Kamal replied for the Egyptians in their friendly meeting at the Cairo International Stadium.
Tunisia rightly celebrated their famous 3-1 win. And their heroic players, including Hannibal who entered the fray late-on, decided to channel their inner Salah when celebrating the third goal.
Gathering at the corner flag when Rafia put the match beyond doubt, several Tunisians decided to celebrate the goal by replicating the Liverpool forward's iconic yoga celebration. Salah saw the funny side, with the forward captured smirking by the TV cameras.
