Hannibal has admitted he thinks Manchester United are 'the biggest club in the world'.
United signed Hannibal from Monaco in the summer of 2019. The player had been attracting interest from an array of clubs, including Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Leicester, but United acted decisively to complete the deal.
John Murtough, now director of football at Old Trafford, provided the youngster with a trip to Norway to watch United's July 2019 friendly against Kristiansund. Hannibal took the match in, he met Pogba and he was sold on the club.

Hannibal has been handed a role in United's first team by Ralf Rangnick this season and he's one of the club's brightest prospects.
The midfielder was recently asked what it means to represent United and his answer will please supporters.
"Since the beginning, it’s been the biggest club in the world to me," Hannibal told Versus.
"That meant something crazy. But when I went to the national team with Tunisia and everyone was asking about it, and saying: “you play for United!”, you realise just how big it is. We all know the story of United bringing young players into the first team.
"We know they have made history with it, with the likes of Beckham, Paul Scholes and George Best. Everyone knows it can happen at any moment so we’re ready for it. All of the youth academy players, not just some of us.
"We work hard and wait for our moment, we know it’ll come."
