Manchester United have been told they could have the next Paul Scholes on their hands in Hannibal Mejbri.
The 19-year-old provided United fans with a rare bright spark during the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday night. The youngster came off the bench with around five minutes remaining and made an immediate impact as he flew into challenges, picking up a booking and perhaps being lucky to escape further punishment.
Nevertheless, Hannibal’s display was a stark contrast to his team-mates on another dismal night for United. The teenager drew praise from the likes of Gary Neville and Bryan Robson for his late cameo, with the former saying he felt ‘proud’ of his performance.
