Once Manchester United is forever Manchester United
Hannibal Mebri, who left Manchester United, has been praised by Manchester United fans.
Burnley defeated Leeds United 1-0 in the fifth round of the English Championship (second division) of the 2024-25 season at Allen Road in Leeds, England, at 8:30 p.m. on the 14th.
Burnley, who was relegated last season by ranking 19th in the Premier League, is moving up to third place with three wins, one draw and one loss in the first five games of the season.
Hannibal, who left Manchester United for Burnley ahead of this season, started the game. He played 73 minutes as a starter, leading Burnley's midfield build-up. He had no offensive point and only recorded one opportunity creation.
Hannibal's behavior became a hot topic after the match. The British 'Mirror' reported on the 14th that Manchester United fans praised Hannibal when a video of him mocking Leeds fans was released after Burnley won 1-0 against Leeds.
According to the media, Hannibal made a mockery of the Leeds fans by gesturing to them after being replaced in the 73rd minute. Afterwards, he applauded to Burnley fans who had been away from the game, and again performed an uppercut ceremony in front of the Leeds fans and raised his arms. Burnley was leading with the first goal early in the first half, and Hannibal provoked the Leeds fans as if he was sure of winning.
The media speculated why Hannibal provoked Leeds fans, saying, Liz fans called Hannibal a 'foolish sideshow rice'.
Manchester United fans who watched the video expressed their pride. According to the media, one fan said, I like Hannibal, who made Leeds fans cry more after beating Burnley, while the other said, Once Manchester United is forever Manchester United. Manchester United and Leeds formed a fierce Liberley in the late 1970s. The two teams are currently playing in different leagues, but their game is called the Rose Derby. The confrontation between the two teams was also exciting before Leeds was relegated to the second division in the Premier League.
Hannibal, a former Manchester United youth player, failed to establish himself in Manchester United's first team. He often appeared in the Premier League last season under Erik ten Hag, and even scored a goal in the early days of the season, but failed to grow as much as expected. Afterwards, he moved to Burnley.
