Hannibal Mejbri has been granted extra time away from preseason by Manchester United.

The Manchester Evening News says United granted Hannibal extra time off at the start of pre-season following his international involvement with the Tunisian national team.

Hannibal, 18, made his senior United debut in a victory over Wolves on the final day of the last Premier League season and enjoyed further success with his inaugural call-up for Tunisia.

The former Monaco youngster switched his allegiance from France, who he had represented at under-16 and under-17 level, to represent the country of his parents.

Hannibal made his international debut in a victory over DR Congo on June 5, before making further appearances against Algeria and Mali a week after.

As such Hannibal will be a late arrival to pre-season training having missed the first week-and-a-half of action since a return to Carrington at the start of July.
