Hannibal is currently with his national team for the Arab Cup (final is slated for 18th December if they make it that far). Beyond that, he will take part in the Africa Cup of Nations (starts on 9th January and Tunisia's last Group match is on 20th January). Given the grueling schedule, him making any first team appearances over the next 2 or even 3½ months (if Tunisia progress to the latter stages of the AFCON) is very unlikely; though at the very least, he will gain valuable experience in the national team setup (which might be better for his personal development than sporadic appearances with United).
Cheers for the info didn't know about the Arab Cup. Shame for us but yeah, good experience for him.Hannibal is currently with his national team for the Arab Cup (final is slated for 18th December if they make it that far).

It’s the match NOT to get selected for. Young Boys (the return fixture from the Wankoff). I got benched. Whew!
We need Maguire, Donny, Fred and Sancho in a few days.
So glad this guy ain't nowhere near our coaching staff.
Yes this looks good! Be an interesting watch.
Huh? Are you thinking we should play the under 21's instead of using the game to gel our main players into a system our new manager is trying to implement before our next PL game?So glad this guy ain't nowhere near our coaching staff.
Ronaldo need a rest for this one.
They need training more than anything.
Heaton?Henderson
Would love Ronaldo to score another CL goal but probably has to be rested. With 5 Champions League subs, I don't think your team will be that far off tbh.
This what you think or hope?
What's the point knowing the tactics but no legs to execute it. Ronaldo absolutely should not start this match. Thurs-sun-wed-sat is a lot. Some squad rotation would be needed.
Maybe, I definitely would if Cavani can play.
We need to build some actual match cohesion, putting the training into action, for starters we don't have any fullbacks fit to rotate in right now and Telles and Dalot need game time, and putting Matic into this system will see a wheel come off from the start as he's not built for the high energy style Rangnick wants. I'm not saying no changes, just not everyone.
Yeah, I think we'll start strong and use all 5 subs to get some peripheral players minutes.
What I think, I'd love to see Amad and Elanga start but I don't think there's going to be the wholesale changes some think are going to happen.
Maybe Ronaldo won't start but I think he'll play 25-30 minutes at least, but Ronaldo aside the guy that originally quoted me seemed to think I was crazy for not suggesting we'll make 8 or 9 changes for this game.
Well he's currently in Qatar...
Sure lets just play them every 3 days for banter.
We have 5 games this month after this. Enough time to gel the players over games that matter
