Manchester United were defeated 3-1 by Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday, but midfielder Hannibal Mejbri shone in his brief appearance.
The Tunisian played a couple preseason friendly for United before making his professional debut during the international break in September.
There had been talk of a loan transfer to Besiktas, but talks broke through.
Mejbri’s chance to make an impression on boss Erik ten Hag has arrived. He was brought off shortly after the hour mark and soon scored a magnificent long-range consolation goal.
The 20-year-old scored a goal and had a perfect pass, dribble, and winning foul percentage. He was effective in two fouls and one tackle, however he did lose the ball once.
Because of his amazing cameo performance, the team’s fans hold high regard for the young player. Mejbri was psyched up for the encounter against the Seagulls.
He should have started the game instead of Scott McTominay, who we thought played terribly in the middle of the field.
