Former Man United star is labelled ‘the new s***house king’ as he goads furious Leeds fans after being substituted in Burnley’s 1-0 win at Elland Road

Hannibal Mejbri became a Manchester United legend on Saturday despite no longer playing for the club.

The 21-year-old departed Old Trafford for Burnley and Turf Moor earlier this summer after spending fives years as a red.

However, it proved to be once a red, always a red and Mejbri showed that his football roots still lie deep. 

The midfielder started for Scott Parker’s Clarets side as they registered a 1-0 win against Leeds United, but it wasn’t his performance on the pitch that made headlines.

The Tunisia international was labelled the ‘new s***house king’ for his antics at Elland Road after he outrageously taunted his old rivals as he walked off the pitch.

As he was subbed off in the 73rd minute of the game, the young midfielder made sure to rile up and taunt the large contingent of home fans.

In a video which has gone viral on social media, Mejbri can been seen going up to the home supporters and staring them down, before pointing at them and at one stage appearing to show them the 1-0 scoreline with his fingers.

His bold actions immediately earned loud jeers from both sets of fans in the stands, though for very different reasons.

Leeds fans quickly became enraged, shouting words of abuse at the star as he was ushered away by three members of security staff.

However once he had left the hostile side of the Leeds fans, he was welcomed to cheers of approval from Burnley fans who applauded and lapped up his  bold antics.

He finished off the spectacle by fisting pumping the home crowd before turning to the Leeds fans for one final dig.

The Burnley star quickly earned the respect of his club’s fans, as one person can be overheard in the video saying ‘what a f***ing legend’.

Praise for Mejbru wasn’t reduced to just inside the stadium. Once the video started to circulate on social media, it went down a treat with Burnley and Manchester United fans alike. 

One fan reacting to the video on X said ‘Hannibal Mejbri is quickly becoming the new s***house sing’.

Followed by a second who said ‘Hannibal you hero’.

While a third added ‘Love this from Hannibal Mejbri during the Burnley Leeds game this afternoon.

‘Once a red…’

As a fourth fan wrote: ‘Burnley’s Hannibal Mejbri (And former Manchester United player) seemed to enjoy his afternoon at Elland Road in front of the Leeds supporters.’

A fifth claimed ‘Hannibal has rattled Leeds fans’.
