The 31-year-old attacker has lost his blue tick on Twitter and has appealed to the new owner to get it back

Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez has appealed to Elon Musk to restore his verified status on Twitter.

The Algeria international had his blue check on the social media platform revoked recently.

Despite having over three million followers, many of whom are his fellow City stars and athletes, the 31-year-old’s account is no longer verified.

What did Mahrez say to Elon Musk?

“Bro @ElonMusk give me my blue tick back,” he posted on Twitter.

But Mahrez has appealed to the very top of the network, reaching out to Twitter’s incoming owner to restore his authenticity.
