Tunisia have named Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri in their senior squad.

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

Mejbri was capped at Under-17 and Under-18 level by France. Even if he plays for Tunisia next month he could still technically switch back to France as he will not have played in a competitive international.
