Tahith Chong gives verdict on Manchester United ace Hannibal Mejbri's Birmingham loan

Former Manchester United winger Tahith Chong believes Hannibal Mejbri has what it takes to make the grade at Old Trafford.

Hannibal, who went to the World Cup in Qatar with Tunisia towards the end of last year, is making encouraging strides on loan at Championship club Birmingham City. The 20-year-old joined the Blues on a season-long loan deal last August and has become something of a fans' favourite at St Andrew's.

The youngster has racked up 23 appearances for Birmingham in all competitions, registering three assists in the process. He stepped off the bench to provide the assist for Jordan James' 91st-minute equaliser during Saturday's 2-2 FA Cup fourth round stalemate with Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park, securing John Eustace's side a replay.
