Hannibal Mejbri told by Tunisia manager why he had to leave Manchester United this season

Manchester United loanee Hannibal Mejbri has been told by his Tunisian national coach why his move away from Old Trafford was the best choice for him this season.

The 19-year-old was included in United's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia by Erik ten Hag, but after missing out on the first four games of the season, opted for a move to Birmingham City on loan to continue his development at St Andrew's. Since joining the Blues, Hannibal has made six substitute appearances as he still waits for his first start under John Eustace.

Hannibal joined the Reds from Monaco three years ago and made two Premier League appearances last season. United have a positive relationship with Birmingham, having sent both Teden Mengi and Tahith Chong on loan to the club last campaign.
