Manchester United fans believe Hannibal Mejbri he could join the first team next season after the young man posted a video of him training on his Instagram account.
Mejbri, 17, joined Kingdom from Monaco last summer paid in the region of £ 9 million and is considered one of the most promising young people of the Academy.
The midfielder has made nine U18 Premier League appearances this season and has also represented the U23 team in Premier League 2.
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the Premier League has announced the premature end of both the U23 and U18 championships, which means that United’s youth are without regular action.
Mejbri has remained active and seems to be working to add muscle to his lean structure in order to cope with the physicality of the British top division.
Kingdom fans believe he is well on his way to his first team debut next season after posting a video on his Instagram page showing his work in the gym.
Before the United Youth Cup victory over Leeds earlier this year, Nicky Butt said that Mejbri is a different type of player than Paul Pogba and stressed the patience in discussing his development.
He said to MEN: “Hannibal is different from Paul when Paul was a youth team player.
“He is not as powerful as Paul, he is not as dominant as he is, he is a different type of player than Paul but we all know about the talent he has. It has been written many times in the press with the signature and the cost.
“But he is a young man who has come to a new country and needs some time. He is a very, very talented boy but he is still very immature.
“He is still a child, he is only 17 years old. He still has nothing about him, he needs to increase his size and build his physicality. As far as talents are concerned, he has such an immense talent that he continues to play at a high level but there is still a long way to go. “
