Speaking ahead of Manchester United's upcoming Premier League fixture, interim boss Ralf Rangnick handed one of the club's most talented youngsters, who is already a senior international with Tunisia, a major boost. SLInt MORE:
Hannibal Mejbri, 18, impressed on the international stage with Tunisia in the recent Arab Cup, with the attacking midfielder having already made nine appearances for the African country since his senior debut in June this year.
The French-born talent made his United bow last season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but could be set for more regular first-team football after Tunisia's upcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations campaign."We had 25 players in on Thursday and the only one missing was Paul Pogba," Rangnick said this week, according to the Red Devils' official website.
"Hannibal was here training for the first time since I arrived, having just come back from the Arab Cup. "Unfortunately for us and for him he will be missing out again in January because of the Africa Cup of Nations. "I watched the final before his substitution and I'm fully aware that we have another good, highly-talented player coming from our youth ranks, and hopefully after the Africa Cup of Nations he can regularly train and be part of our group."
