Manchester United ace Christian Eriksen gives Hannibal Mejbri advice ahead of first World Cup

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has told Hannibal Mejbri to "enjoy" his first World Cup as he shared some words of wisdom with the youngster ahead of the tournament.

Hannibal was included in United's squad for their pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia by Erik ten Hag, but after missing out on the first four games of the season he opted for a move to Birmingham on loan to continue his development at St Andrew's. The 19-year-old has thoroughly impressed during his time there, vindicating his decision to go in search of first-team football after being selected for Tunisia's World Cup squad.

The teenager is one of 16 United players travelling to Qatar, as he features in Group D, where he will come up against Raphael Varane's France and Eriksen's Denmark, as well as Australia.
