The young Tunisian star temporarily has no plans to return to play football at Old Trafford in the winter transfer window.
Manchester United is expected to still undergo many notable changes in terms of personnel during the winter transfer window. As confirmed by coach Erik Ten Hag, the Old Trafford team will focus on the task of replacing Cristiano Ronaldo with a quality central striker, and at the same time, the Red Devils are also said to have a plan to get rid of Aaron Wan. -Bissaka, before proceeding to upgrade the right-back position.
Notably, in addition to new contracts, it is likely that Man Utd will also welcome a few reinforcements back to Old Trafford. According to information from the Manchester Evening News, Ten Hag has considered calling back some of the young talents who are leaving Old Trafford on loan, in order to increase the depth of the squad. Among the players considered by the Dutch strategist, there is also the presence of Hannibal Mejbri.

What did Morata say when contacted by Man Utd?
Mejbri has officially returned to Birmingham City after the Tunisian team stopped in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, a relatively disappointing tournament for the midfielder himself when he had just over 10 minutes of playing from the bench. Back in Birmingham, of course, Mejbri will be playing more often, so perhaps he has also made a decision for a return to Old Trafford.
"I haven't played much in the World Cup, so I'm happy to come back here and show what I can. For the rest of the season, I want to be in the top six for play-offs. And I think that's also the goal of the club," Mejbri told Birmingham Live.
“I came here to play football all season. We (Man Utd) always talk after every game - and now nothing has changed. I love playing for this club, I also love the fans. Now, we just need to improve the small details to become a better team."
"My only goal right now with Birmingham is to be in the top six."
With the above sharing, it can be said that Mejbri has clarified his stance that he does not want to return to Old Trafford in the January transfer window. Considering the actual situation, this is really a wise decision from the young Tunisian star , because returning to Man Utd at this time will certainly only bring negative effects to his development. .
At the moment, in the hands of coach Erik Ten Hag, there are a series of quality factors in the midfield, from Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, Fred, Scott McTominay to Donny van de Beek, or even young star Zidane Iqbal. So, if he returns, Mejbri's playing time will certainly be greatly limited, and instead of constantly sitting on the bench at Old Trafford, playing every week at Birmingham will certainly help Mejbri a lot. in the process of personal development and accumulating competition experience.
In general, Man Utd does not actually need to rush to consolidate depth in the midfield, and it would be a wise decision if they continue to let Mejbri wear Birmingham.
