Ralf Rangnick reveals Hannibal Mejbri will be part of first-team Man United squad

"Hannibal was here training for the first time since I arrived having just come back from the Arab Cup," Ralf Rangnick told at a press conference for the Newcastle game.

"Unfortunately for us and for him he will be missing out [with us] again in January because of the Africa Cup of Nations.

"I watched the final before his substitution and I’m fully aware that we have another good, highly-talented player coming from our youth ranks and hopefully after the Africa Cup of Nations he can regularly train and be part of our group."

Over the past weeks, Hannibal was a key player in the Tunisia side and won two Man of the Match awards on their road to the Arab Cup final.

The 18-year-old has made just one Premier League appearance for Man United, and it looks like Rangnick is willing to give him more opportunities at this level.
