Manchester United fans disagree over Hannibal Mejbri after Youth League exit to Borussia Dortmund

Manchester United fans are disagreeing on the quality of Hannibal Mejbri after the U19s side crashed out of the Youth League at the hands of Borussia Dortmund.

Jamie Bynoe-Gittens gave Dortmund the lead in the round-of-16 tie at Leigh Sports Village following a good counterattack. Charlie McNeill levelled for United just eight minutes later thanks to quick feet in the German side's area.

After a quiet first half for Hannibal, the youngster watched as Dortmund regained the lead in the second. However, the Tunisian played a key role to help set up the Rhys Bennett strike five minutes before the end to take the game to penalties.

After the final whistle, United fans were left unsure about the 19-year-old Hannibal. Here is what they had had to say.
