Manchester United have told Hannibal Mejbri that they see him as “one for the future” and that he was sent out on loan to Birmingham to gain more match experience.
The Tunisia international, who will likely be going to the World Cup next month, earned two senior appearances towards the end of last season; his hustling cameo against Liverpool and the final day loss to Crystal Palace.
The 19-year-old played 77 minutes across three games under Erik ten Hag in pre-season before his temporary move to Birmingham was sorted. He plays alongside former United attacker Tahith Chong, who made his switch to the Blues permanent after last campaign’s loan spell at St Andrew’s.
