Despite only playing for eight minutes, Hannibal Mejbri made his mark by poking fun at Mohamed Salah.

Hannibal Mejbri, the Manchester United player, had a brief but memorable cameo appearance for Tunisia during their impressive 3-1 victory over Egypt. 

In the match, Tunisia secured their victory with goals from Aissa Laidouni and Hamza Rafia, with an own goal by Egypt’s Hamdi Faith in between. Omar Kamal scored Egypt’s only goal in the friendly game held at the Cairo International Stadium.

After Rafia’s goal sealed the victory for Tunisia, several Tunisian players decided to celebrate by mimicking Mohamed Salah’s iconic yoga celebration, gathering at the corner flag. Salah, who plays for Liverpool, found the humor in the gesture and was seen smiling on TV cameras.

Hannibal Mejbri, who has not yet appeared for Manchester United this season despite their midfield injury crisis and his participation in the club’s pre-season tour, earned his 26th senior cap for Tunisia during this match. He came off the bench in the 82nd minute to replace Elias Achouri.

This victory came in a meeting between two teams preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations early next year. However, Hannibal’s participation in international duty could result in him missing up to nine matches for Manchester United. The 20-year-old midfielder made his international debut for Tunisia in 2021 and was part of their squad for the last World Cup.
