Man Utd whiz Hannibal dubbed 'phenomenal' by Birmingham boss Eustace

Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri has earned praise from Birmingham City manager John Eustace after impressing in the Championship.

The all-action youngster is out on loan at Birmingham City for the entire season.

Hannibal, who did play several first team games for United last term, has featured ten times in the league already for Birmingham.

"The way he has played in the last couple of games has been phenomenal," Eustace said.

"He has broken records for total distance [covered], all that kind of stuff.

"It was important we also used the squad. [Juninho] Bacuna came in today and did well and Hanni came on for that last half hour and was very good. I have said it is a squad game, everyone will be used, we are certainly stretched at the moment but it's important everyone gets that opportunity to play and feel wanted."
