Maybe it’s the hair but he reminds me of Gendouzi at Arsenal.
Hannibal Mejbri - Manchester United Player
- Thread starter IrishRedDevil
- Start date
This from the Luckhurst piece I shared earlier has surprised quite a few people at the club.God, that constant fast forwarding at the end of the clips was awful
I'm surprised with Mejbri so far, I'd heard he had a big reputation in France but he's taken to the English football like a duck to water. To be honest, he actually reminds me a bit of a "classic" British all-action CM but with more finesse, I've only seen half of a season of him and I already think he's brilliant. Needs some protection from the referees though, the poor guy gets kicked all over the fecking show.
"Mejbri has steel to supplement his silk and United staff have been struck by the 'nasty' streak he possesses".
He looks a real top prospect. I’m more impressed by him than any of the other lads who’ve been signed from abroad for the youth teams since pogba... he looks like he’s the real deal. He makes it look easy at U18.
Looks a proper player!
Meanwhile what's happening with the other French kid who we were tracking and was supposed to be an even bigger prospect?

Cherki signed a new contract I believe
Emeran? Injured.
Let’s hope Ole does have a plan to dominate possession as well as counter attack. During SAF reign we were explosive at the counter attack but we always dominated the possession. Once we scored the first goal, teams knew that they're screwed as they have to commit to get something from the game and we would counter attack explosively.
That's really good to hear - I haven't seen the kid play but recently every player that are coming through the ranks are not able to physical impose themselves and looking not ready. If he can fill out by 18 I hope he gets his chance to play for the first team.
That's really cool you met him - how is he as a person?
A lot of the current youngsters are showing they are lacking the physical aspect. The only player, I believe who has some physical presence in Greenwood.
He's not far of from joining the team but the coaching staff are being extra careful with him and don't want to rush him too early is what I was told by some of the lads who attend games at youth level.
Which is understandable because before we signed Hannibal, Emeran was our most expensive youth signing if I'm not mistaken.
When I mean I met him, I mean I was standing not far from him during a game.
5'9 or 5'10
Sounds like a Byran Robson.
Bryan Robson, Paul Scholes hybrid.
No pressure!
He’s a serious player. So good, I’m fact, that he’ll be in and around the first team in about 18 months. He’s as hot a prospect as Pogba and Greenwood. Just makes the game look so easy.
This guy is a real prospect. Hope he stays injury free until he is ready for first team.
He gets kicked a hell of a lot. A player of his style and ability will need careful handling while in his teens.
Hope we introduce him slowly with good protection around him
I was only kidding..Yikes
Forgot that he glides like Zidane
I wasn’t
I don't doubt you. The Zidane glide is very evident.
Someone post some gifs! I wanna hop on the hype train. What a name too. "Hannibal scores!"
Noticed the last few games his teammates and staff are calling him 'Hanni', obvious the lads choice, i'd have gone for something more macho like 'Bully' or 'Mej'
He looks exciting.
Only took him 9 appearances(including a few cameos) to get his first suspension, if he get's a reputation everybody will be trying to get him at it, there may be trouble ahead....
What's wrong with Hanni, hun?
But while there's music and moonlight and love and romance, Let him face the music and dance
Pretty sure he's talking about Cherki since we tried to get him this summer
And he's the only French player from that generation who is a bigger prospect than Mejbri.
Yea right? He's got the same nickname as Anakin Skywalker.
The same pic is used alot but I don't think it's him..
That doesn't look like him?
Yep, that's Amara Djelassi — another Monaco/Clairefontaine midfielder.

Who is Hannibal Mejbri? Well, definitely not this guy!
So not only is that not even him in the pic, their info isnt correct either right? Both Mejbri and Greenwood are -9 which is a random number between 150 and 180. So just from that part he'd be equal on max potential, not the "Man Utd wonderkid with the highest potential on FM20".
Pogba's is 185, 5 higher than they could possibly reach.
Contrary to the story they probably got paid to write about FM, this game rating doesn't mean anything in the real world. But if they're going to say that stuff at least make it accurate

Tbf FM will never give higher than -9 to youth players, even Mbappe did not get -10 until the 2019 edition IIRC, so after winning a freaking WC at 18...
Okay but still, hed be joint with greenwood
Already learned the important English words. Also that first touch on the last clip was sexy, too bad his left leg pushed the ball too far.
Looks good to me, great touch, passing, vision and shielding of the ball in tight spaces. Love the grit and the closing down.
