Manchester United wonderkid Hannibal Mejbri is only 16 years old and hasn’t been at the club for very long at all, but he’s already made quite the impression with a lot of Red Devils fans on Twitter.
The young Frenchman joined United from Monaco in the summer and most would have expected it to be some time before he gets anywhere near the club’s first-team.

Still, this is clearly no ordinary young player as Mejbri showed real quality playing at Under-23 level.
Watch this delightful assist in the video clip below, while loads of other Man Utd fans tweeted their excitement at his quality in this brief cameo against players mainly quite a few years older than him…
Hannibal Mejbri is one hell of a talent. Bossing it for the U23's at 16 years of age. Hopefully we have a future first teamer in him. Yesterday's performance was absolutely sensational! ?? #MUAcademy

16-year-old Hannibal Mejbri with a sublime pass to set up Tahith Chong for Manchester United U23s last night.
Came off the bench and had an impact again. Great finish from Chong, too.https://t.co/GZnMo9YSJH

Hannibal Mejbri is taking huge strides. He is only 16 years of age and has already made his debut for the u23s.
Midfield enforcer, has a good range of passing and a decent right foot. Physically he'll only get better.
Can develop into an amazing player.#MUFC— MUSC Nagpur (@MUSCnagpur) November 5, 2019
We should be buying players like mejbri all the time. What a player
