Manchester United’s Loan Star Hannibal Mejbri: The Young Footballer Everyone is Talking About
Manchester United fans are buzzing about Hannibal Mejbri, the young loan star currently playing for Birmingham City in the Championship. Mejbri’s performances on the pitch have been impressive, but it’s his wind-up antics that have really captured fans’ attention.
On a recent match against Millwall, Mejbri won a free-kick in the fifth minute of injury time, with his team leading 1-0. Rather than take the opportunity to slow down the game, Mejbri used the moment to show off his skills at winding up the opposition.
The 20-year-old Tunisian knocked the ball to the side and celebrated with a huge cheer and arm-waving towards the away fans. He continued his antics, getting more and more excited, even as Millwall right-back Danny McNamara trotted back to mark him.
Mejbri’s antics sent the travelling support crazy, and fans back home couldn’t get enough of it. Many took to social media to praise the young footballer, with one fan calling him “the biggest s***house in English football”.
Mejbri joined Manchester United from Monaco in 2019 and made his first-team debut on the final day of the 2020-21 Premier League season in a 2-1 win over Wolves. Despite representing France at youth level, he switched to play for Tunisia at senior level and has made 22 caps for the country.
His loan spell with Birmingham City is aimed at building first-team football experience, and he is certainly not shying away from taking on his Championship rivals. Mejbri’s performances have been eye-catching, and his unique brand of football entertainment has made him a fan favorite.
It remains to be seen where Mejbri’s career will take him, but one thing is for sure – he’s a young footballer everyone is talking about. With his talent on the pitch and his showmanship off it, Mejbri looks set to be one of the rising stars of English football.
