Hannibal Mejbri has urged Manchester United to allow him to stay at Birmingham City this season.
Mejbri, 19, has played 15 matches in the Championship since moving to St. Andrew's on loan and was named in the Tunisia squad for their World Cup adventure. He played 10 minutes at the Qatar showcase against Denmark as they failed to progress through Group D which also included France and Australia.
As things stand, Mejbri is due to remain at Birmingham until next summer - but United do have an option to recall their loan players and are considering doing that with certain prospects in the January window. Others out on loan include right-back Ethan Laird (QPR) and Ivory Coast attacker Amad Diallo (Sunderland).
