The Manchester United-owned player loves a scrap and shapes as a key obstacle for Australia when the teams meet in World Cup Group D

Hannibal Mejbri has been doing it on cold, wet and windy nights in Stoke this season, so shining in the warm afternoons and evenings of Qatar should come easily. The Tunisian teenager is one of the rising stars of English football and will relish any physical challenge Australia may bring when the two meet in Al-Wakrah in their second game of the 2022 World Cup.

With Denmark and France also in Group D, both Tunisia and the Socceroos know that beating each other offers the best chance of progression. It should be quite a battle and with a Tunisian called Hannibal on the pitch, there is always going to be a chance for something special.
