Now England team-mate Jesse Lingard has been filming United’s players trying to do the celebration after training – with reports that Alli actually got the idea off Lingard.

And the hand gesture, which some people have been able to copy easily and others have struggled with, has baffled some members of the United squad, while others are able to nail it straight away.
