Tunisia have welcomed the commitment of Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri with a spectacular presentation ceremony.

His capture has been viewed as a coup by the Tunisian FA and they wanted to make sure he knew he'd made the right decision by staging a spectacular unveiling ceremony for him.

The Manchester Evening News reports a video clip shared on social media showed a packed conference room of dignitaries and media figures awaiting the unveiling of Mejbri as a dramatic countdown played along with a dramatic backing soundtrack.

After almost a minute of build-up Mejbri walked out where strobe lighting accompanied bursts of flames as the United starlet took centre stage.

Mejbri, 18, represented France at youth level but has chosen to switch his allegiance to Tunisia and is in contention to make his debut against the Democratic Republic of Congo, Algeria or Mali in June.
