Man Utd star 'mocks' Salah during African tie

A Manchester United star seemingly could not resist mocking Liverpool hero Mohamed Salah during an international friendly earlier this week.  

On Tuesday night, Red Devils midfielder Hannibal Mejbri and his Tunisia teammate Hamza Rafia were seen mimicking Salah's renowned "yoga" goal celebration during their side's 3-1 victory over Egypt in Cairo.

The away side opened the scoring early on in the game through a stunning strike by Aissa Laidouni in the third minute, and just five minutes later, the visitors went 2-0 up courtesy of an own goal by Hamdi Fathi. 

The Egyptians pulled one back in the 34th minute, when Omar Kamal found the back of the net to give his nation hope of a comeback. 

However, the Pharaohs' fate was sealed when Hamza Rafia bagged Tunisia's third goal deep in stoppage time.

That strike sparked some fierce celebrations, with Mejbri, who came off the bench in the 82nd minute, right in the mix, reproducing the Liverpool superstar's celebration in his own backyard.  

Salah had played the full 90 minutes but was unable to get on the scoresheet as his side slumped to a first defeat in nine games.

Mejbri, 20, is a product of United's youth academy, and follwoing a loan spell at Birmingham last season, the Tunisian will be hoping to build on the three appearances he has made thus far for the Red Devils' first team.
