Africa-Press – Ghana. Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has confirmed that Hannibal Mejbri will be involved with the club’s first team when he returns from the African Cup of Nations.
The 18-year-old was a key member of the Tunisia side that finished runner-ups in the Arab Cup last week and will be away with his national side next month for the African Cup of Nations.
“We had 25 players in on Thursday and the only one missing was Paul Pogba,” Rangnik said on Thursday. 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.”
The player represented France at youth level but chose to switch his allegiance to Tunisia earlier in the year, and has already made nine international appearances but despite his outing with the national team, he has only featured once for United’s first-team, on the last day of the season against Wolves back in May.
