Manchester United youngster Hannibal Mejbri has been named in Tunisia’s starting line-up to take on Libya in an Africa Cup of Nations clash.
Tunisia will play Libya twice in the last international break of the season; tonight is a home outing at the Stade Olympique de Rades and on Tuesday, March 28 the teams will face off again at the Martyrs of February Stadium.
The 20-year-old is spending the season on loan in the Championship with Birmingham City and has made 35 appearances so far; 22 as a starter and 13 as a substitute, returning one goal and six assists in that time.
Erik ten Hag will have a huge decision to make in the summer on whether to send Hannibal on another loan spell or keep him at Old Trafford to continue his development with the first team.
Reds on international duty
As well as Hannibal, Victor Lindelof and Marcel Sabitzer have been in action for their national teams tonight, whilst Tyrell Malacia and Wout Weghorst could feature for the Netherlands, having made the bench.
