Manchester United fans are buzzing on social media after 'insane talent' Hannibal Mejbri produced an incredible assist for Tunisia.

Mejbri was in action for Tunisia against Mauritania in the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup on Tuesday.

And he recorded his first assist for his national side, creating a brilliant goal in Tunisia's 5-1 victory.

From the left wing, the 18-year-old drove into the box with purpose before showing off his silky skills.

He performed a step over then brilliantly picked out Ziad Jaziri, who finished off the lovely move with a terrific strike into the back of the net

Mejbri's moment of magic got Man United fans very excited online.

One Twitter user wrote: "He's gonna be so good for us and hopefully gets game time under Ralf."

A second tweeted: "Pray Rangnick makes use of Amad & Hannibal these guys potential is nuts. Can't be wasted."

A third added: "He's gonna be so good, his cameo against Wolves at the end of last season was really promising."


Mejbri opted to represent Tunisia instead of France after qualifying through his parents.

And it appears they have a star on their hands, with the youngster's former coach saying he could become a 'future Paul Scholes' at Man United.

"The Premier League requires a lot of athleticism and a strong physical capacity. He can still grow more muscle," Reda Bekhti told First Time Finish.

"If he passes this milestone and does not pick up any injuries, he will win over [Solskjaer] I am sure.

"He can become a future Paul Scholes at Manchester United. He has all the qualities in midfield to become a leader."

The midfielder made his senior debut against Wolves in the Premier League last season.

He had a brief cameo, but made an impression as he impressed fans.
