Man Utdfans are taking to their marauding midfielder Hannibal Mejbri but some fine-tuning is needed before he can change his squad status.
There are many ways to ‘burst onto the scene’ ™ but Hannibal Mejbri got the adulation of Gary Neville when he made a barnstorming cameo against Liverpool in April 2022.
However, the next wave of academy talent was starting to poke through and the likes of Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo made their full senior debuts last season. In his 41 matches for the Under-21s, the 20-year-old picked up 15 yellow cards and three red cards. In his 105 games played from the Under-18s age group upwards, he has been cautioned 36 times, which holds a greater average than one in every three matches.
“I was contemplating bringing him off at half time if I am going to be honest,” he said after last October’s 2-0 win for Birmingham over Queens Park Rangers. “I spoke to him, spoke to the staff, he assured me he’d be OK. I think it lasted about four minutes.” Perhaps that restraint is something learnt at Birmingham. Eustace added: “It’s something we have got to watch but he plays on the edge, that’s why he’s so good, a top player. I am certainly not going to stop him doing what he does but he has to realise the importance of managing the games at times.”
