I love watching Hannibal, and I'd love it if he could establish himself in United's first team squad over the next couple of years.
They say, with youngsters, sometimes it's about luck and timing with getting that opportunity. With that in mind, it's been a little frustrating how Hannibal's missed out on some first team opportunities so far in 2021. First he injured his shoulders with the U23's and only returned late on and missed a few first team opportunities when he could have got a bit of game time as others were.
Then, this summer, despite all the first team players missing, he hasn't got many minutes to do what Elanga has achieved due to being one of the few youngsters who played senior internationals over the summer and so arrived back a little late. I was hoping, having got some game time under his belt, he might have got longer in the Preston game - but then it was called off. I can't see him playing much v Everton, so this summer, which was a good opportunity for him, has kind of past him by as regards United. That side, I was delighted to see him feature for Tunisia's senior team.
