Manchester United fans couldn't hide their excitement after rising star Hannibal Mejbri produced another stellar performance for the Under-23s on Friday.
The 19-year-old midfielder slotted home a penalty and notched an assist in the 5-2 victory over Derby’s youngsters to go fourth in Premier League 2 Division 1.
The United faithful have been keeping a close eye on the hot prospect in recent months after he was called up to the Tunisia squad for January’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Hannibal was named on the bench in this week’s Champions League last-16 clash against Atletico Madrid.
He was also named in the matchday squad for the fixtures against Southampton in the Premier League and Middlesbrough in the FA Cup.
Following Hannibal’s impressive display against Derby's Under-23s, United fans have been voicing their excitement on Twitter and Instagram...
@hannibalEra: Developing into a great DLP (deep-lying playmaker).
@leeperkins87: I think he looks good. Just could do with adding a bit of muscle to get into our first team.
@DavidBalfou: In the Donny van de Beek mould for sure.
@brandonferreira28_: So, so good. Top baller.
@thereddevilway: Why have I not seen Hannibal Mejbri grace the pitch yet? He has performed for Tunisia there’s been a lot of hype and Ralf clearly likes him. What’s going on?
@chettyg06: I would swap Fred for Hannibal Mejbri.
Hannibal joined United’s youth set-up in 2019 after making a move from Monaco.
His progression at Carrington saw him earn his first-team debut, coming on for the final eight minutes in the 2-1 win over Wolves on the final day of last season.
He played twice for Tunisia at AFCON, enjoying 45 minutes in a 1-0 loss to Mali and 22 minutes in the one-goal defeat to Gambia.
