Manchester United youngster Hannibal chose to play for Tunisia, having turned down invitations to the French youth team several times

According to the "Team Newspaper", Manchester United youngster Hannibal Mebri has decided to play for the Tunisian national team.

Born in France, Hannibal has previously played for the French U16 and U17 national teams, but it is understood that he recognizes his Tunisian status more than the Frenchman, because his parents were born in Tunisia and he has been there for a long time, so he has decided to play for the Tunisian adult national team.

In the past few seasons, the French U18 and U19 echelons have called up Hannibal, but both have been rejected by the players themselves, and he is expected to be called up to the Tunisian national team in the coming weeks.

The 18-year-old Hannibal made 25 appearances in The Manchester United reserve team this season, contributing 5 goals and 10 assists, making his first-team debut in the Premier League finale of the season against Wolves.

Hannibal won Monaco's U23 Player of the Year in 2017 and United signed him.
