Man United Youngster Courts Controversy After Sharing Photo Holding a Firearm

• Hannibal Mejbri risked the wrath of Erik Ten Hag after he was spotted with a gun alongside his friends
• The group of pals went to a shooting range, and they took photos which Mejbri posted then deleted
• His most notable appearance in a Manchester United shirt was against Liverpool last term

Manchester United youngster Hannibal Mejbri recently risked the wrath of fans after he was spotted posing with a gun on social media.

The 19-year-old is just breaking into the Manchester United first team, and was handed a debut by Ralf Rangnick in May.

Notably, he has been a regular name on the teamsheets, although appearances on the pitch have been limited.

There are certainly a lot of positives for Mejbri, as far as his future is concerned, but he might have to start treading carefully, especially on social media.

The Tunisia international caught the attention of the internet after sharing photo of himself holding a handgun, in the company of friends, seemingly at a gun range.

In the photo seen by The Sun, the young footballer is wearing ear defenders and safety goggles, with a handgun visible across his face.

He then shared a different photo standing alongside three of his friends with the same handgun.

Presumably fearing the repercussions that could follow with such a post, Mejbri proceeded to delete the photos, but a large section of his 860,000 followers had already captured it.

The youngster is clearly enjoying his holidays, and he, later on, shared a photo holding sea urchins as he enjoyed an outing at sea.

He only joined Manchester United two years ago as a 16-year-old from AS Monaco, with the Red Devils paying £4.2million for his services.
