Mohamed Salah reaction spotted after Liverpool star mocked by Man Utd youngster

Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah was seemingly mocked by a Manchester United midfielder on Tuesday

Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah was seemingly mocked by a Manchester United midfielder during a 3-1 defeat by Tunisia.

Selected to start from the off for his country in Tuesday’s friendly, Salah could not help Egypt avoid a loss despite completing the full 90 minutes of action.

Losing 2-1 with only minutes remaining in the contest, Tunisia made sure of their win with a third effort on target from Hamza Rafia to spark wild celebrations from their players.

Among those to have a hand in the goal was midfielder Hannibal Mejbri, introduced in the 82nd minute, who attempted to fire home from inside the area before his team-mate slotted in.

Hannibal, a United player, then chose to mimic one of Salah’s iconic goal celebrations along with other players from the Tunisia side. The yoga celebration, involving the Liverpool forward raising his left leg while placing his hands together, was first witnessed during the 2018/19 season after his stunning long-range strike versus Chelsea at Anfield.

Explaining what inspired him to react in this manner to this strike, the 31-year-old said after the game: “I am a yoga man! I do yoga and it just came into my mind.”

Salah also performed this celebration during the Reds’ 4-0 home win over United in April 2022 – a game during which Hannibal was introduced as a substitute late on and was booked for a foul moments after being deployed.

Looking to get a small piece of revenge, the United youngster chose to copy Salah after Tunisia’s third effort and provoked a smirk from Liverpool’s No.11 who watched on from a distance.
