Hannibal Mejbri may have left Manchester United in the summer but he has managed to enhance his reputation with the club's supporters after winding up bitter rivals Leeds United.

Hannibal, 21, joined Championship club Burnley on a four-year deal in August after being deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.

Burnley paid a fixed fee of £5.4million for the midfielder, potentially rising up to £9.4m with add-ons.

United also included both sell-on and buy-back clauses into the deal with Burnley, leaving the door open for the Tunisian to return to the club in the future.

Hannibal has made an immediate impact at Burnley, featuring three times for the Clarets so far this season – including in Saturday's 1-0 win over Leeds at Elland Road.

And footage has now emerged of the midfielder winding up the home support after being substituted in the 71st minute of the match.

After leaving the field of play, Hannibal can be seen gesturing toward the Leeds fans – receiving a volley of abuse back.

After being applauded by the travelling Burnley fans, Hannibal then pumps his first in the direction of the away end before turning back to mock the Leeds supporters for a second time.

"What a f***ing legend," one Burnley fan can be overheard saying in the footage.

The clip has since gone viral on social media, with United fans particularly enjoying Hannibal's s***housery.

"I love him so much," one fan posted on X.

Another added: "Hannibal has rattled Leeds fans."

"Hannibal you hero," posted a third.

While a fourth wrote: "Once a red, always a red."

Speaking after his departure last month, Hannibal thanked United fans for their support over the years.

"It has been an honour to represent this incredible club for the last five years," he wrote in an emotional statement on social media.

"I leave with so many special memories. Making my debut, scoring at Old Trafford and representing United in the Champions League.

Advert

"I'll be forever grateful to the many staff and players who have helped me develop as a player and grow from a boy to the man that I am today."

Judging by the footage, he still holds United close to his heart.
