NEYMAR is famous for his mazy runs and sublime skills on the field.

But the Barcelona star has also shown he’s a dab hand when it comes to dancing.

Even though he should have probably been resting up following the 3-0 World Cup qualifying win over Ecuador in the small hours of Sunday morning, Neymar decided to try his hand at the popular Running Man Challenge along with some Brazil team-mates.

The activity was made popular by University of Maryland basketballers Jared Nickens and Jaylen Brantley, and sees people perform the running man dance to ‘My Boo’, the 90s dance classic from the Ghost Town DJ’s.

Ever the joker, Neymar can be seen in the changing room with Dani Alves, Marcelo, Paulinho and Marquinhos as they brace themselves for the music.

And as soon as the beat drops, the Brazilians go crazy as they show off their best moves.

They had every right to be happy too, with Neymar opening the scoring against Ecuador in the 72nd minute as new boss Tite got his national team reign off to a flier.

But it was Manchester City new-boy Gabriel Jesus who stole the show, helping himself to a late brace to make sure of the win.
