Manchester United planning to promote 17-year-old wonderkid to the first-team

Manchester United are planning to promote Hannibal Mejbri to the first-team next season, according to Manchester Evening News. The 17-year-old arrived at Old Trafford from Monaco for £9million last year. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is considering a move to bring him into the first-team following his impressive performances. In 13 games for United's junior teams, he was fouled 26 times. Mejbri has played once for the U23 side this season having featured mostly for the U18 side and playing in all four of the club's FA Youth Cup ties. Solksjaer could call up Mejbri to the first team to fill the void and continue his policy of oozing through young talent. The Frenchman set to be joined by fellow prospects Charlie McCann and Mark Helm. Solskjaer has shown he is not afraid to give youth a chance with the introduction of Mason Greenwood to the first team last season. Source: Daily Mail Join us on Telegram!
