According to reports, Erik ten Hag is pleased with the progress Hannibal is making in the Man United first squad.
Due to injuries and off-field problems, Manchester United Football Club has been obliged to use different players over the past few weeks.
As a result, Erik ten Hag might have discovered a few jewels. Down that right side, Facundo Pellistri appears bright, if not a touch raw. However, Hannibal Mejbri has started the previous several games against the odds.
There is no denying that the Tunisia international appears at home in the center of the Reds midfield. As a result, discussions over a new contract have gained attention.
The condition of Hannibal’s squad has now been updated by journalist Jacque Talbot, who states that Ten Hag is “very happy” with the progress the 20-year-old has made.
With the Dutchman praising the youngster’s “running and pressing” skills during the last few starts, Hannibal is still playing a significant role in the first team.
My surprise at Hannibal was genuine. To his credit, he produced a lot more than I had anticipated. During practice, he probably has gradually been picking up skills from some of the top players and coaches in the world. He is now aiming to regularly make the transition to the first-team fold.
Hannibal’s place in the team when United has a fully stocked roster does make me ponder. It will be interesting to see how much time Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat get in the middle of the field. Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay are also a possibility.
