Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri has responded to claims that he mocked Mohamed Salah during Tunisia's victory over Egypt earlier this week.
Mejbri was seen appearing to imitate Salah's famous yoga celebration, which seem to cause a stir on social media after Tuesday's victory.
The Pharaohs ended up losing 3-1 to their North African neighbours, but the Red Devils midfielder insists he was not mocking the Egyptian star.The Tunisian responded to a comment,"Mo Salah’s biggest fans’ over the celebration," with"Inspiration for us all"“You have to know that it wasn’t Hannibal who started it.
“But it wasn’t quite like that, as it was Rafia who did it, and he plays in Serie A. He doesn’t care a bit about Liverpool. “I don’t think it was anything special against Mohamed Salah. It may be the media that drives it up. They sometimes want something to write about, so maybe they have used it.”
