Manchester United youngster Hannibal Mejbri, who is currently on loan at Birmingham City, hopes to return to the Old Trafford side next summer and succeed.
The Tunisia international joined the Championship outfit in the recent transfer window on a temporary deal. He is getting regular game time at the St Andrews side under John Eustace.
Speaking to Goal.com (h/t Manchester Evening News), Mejbri revealed that his ambition was to do well upon returning to United. However, the 19-year-old is unsure about what will happen next summer.

The Tunisian made his way to the Old Trafford side in 2019 from AS Monaco. For most of the midfielder’s time with the Red Devils, he played with the youth sides.
