Hannibal pokes fun at Salah

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.

Pellistri sends message to wingers

Facundo Pellistri says wingers at

Manchester United are expected to be as

diligent in defence as they are free in attack.

The Uruguayan, who played in both of his

country’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers during

the international break, could be in line for

a bigger role in Erik ten Hag’s plans with

Jadon Sancho’s future unclear and Antony

unavailable.

 

Bruno Fernandes has been played on the

right several times by Ten Hag while Marcus

Rashford has featured there four times

under the Dutchman, albeit it is the best

position for neither.

And with Amad injured, Pellistri – who has

12 senior appearances for United – is the

only natural senior right winger available.

He decided to undertake a personal training

camp in Mexico before joining up with

United for pre-season.
