Live on 24 December Manchester United boss Ronnick was interviewed by the club's official media this week and spoke about the academy's potential youngster Hannibal.
Lonnick said: "We had 25 players back on Thursday and the only one missing was Pogba. This is the first time I've been to the first team since I came to the team, Hannibal has just returned from the Arab Cup. ”
"Unfortunately, he will be absent again in January because he is going to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations. I watched his performance in the Arabian Cup final and I was fully aware that he was yet another high potential player from the academy and hopefully after the Africa Cup of Nations he could train steadily and be part of the first team. ”
Although Lonnick has only recently taken office, he has proved his willingness to promote young players with practical actions, and in the Champions League match against the young people of Bern, he let Charlie Savage make his first-team debut, and the youngsters Mengey, Shorattier and Ilanga were also given the opportunity to play.
Lonnick said: "I think the promotion to academy has been part of United's DNA since Busby's baby and that tradition has continued in sir Alex Ferguson's 27 years at the helm. ”
"It's not just about being young, it's also about having the right personality and mentality, and if those conditions are in place, I certainly want to get as many young players as possible on the pitch. There are already four or five players like that in the squad and it's important for me to have those players grow. ”
