Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen was happy for Hannibal Mejbri after defeat to Brighton.

As a second-half substitute, Mejbri scored for United in the 3-1 loss. It marked the midfielder's first senior goal for the club.

"I'm very happy for him [Hannibal], he's a very good guy and he works very hard," Eriksen told MUTV.

"As you see on the pitch, he's a loud guy, but he deserved it and like you said, he's unlucky to get the goal in a loss.

"I know if he scored today and we'd had won, it would have ben a completely different feel for him and everyone else."
