Hannibal responds to Erik ten Hag question after Manchester United loanee scores in Birmingham win

Hannibal insisted that he is focused on performing for Birmingham City after the Manchester United loanee scored his first professional goal on Friday night.

The 20-year-old midfielder, who joined the Championship club on a season-long loan last summer, has featured in every match he has been available for since joining the Midlands outfit. He grabbed his first senior goal as John Eustace's side secured a 2-0 win over rivals West Bromwich Albion.

As Hannibal lined up a free-kick from the right, it appeared as though he was going to cross the ball into the box. However, as he raised a hand towards his teammates, the youngster spotted a gap at the near post and went for goal instead. Goalkeeper David Button scrambled across, but was unable to keep the ball out.
