Erik ten Hag said Hannibal Mejbri did a perfect job as the 20-year-old played the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 win over Burnley on Saturday night.
On the string of injuries that have led to Mejbri getting a start, Ten Hag said: Of course it’s a concern. You have so many injuries. You bring players in like [Rasmus] Holjund and you can’t bring them in slowly.
They’re not used to playing together. Like Hannibal who did a perfect job. Hopefully it gives us confidence. It’s only one win. Tuesday is the next game.
Ten Hag added on Hojlund and first Mejbri: Brought energy in the team but the pressing from Rasmus Hojlund was very good. We controlled the game in that spell.
Mejbri made just his second Premier League start in the clash with the Clarets, alongside Casemiro and Scott McTominay in midfield.
A Bruno Fernandes volley was the difference between the sides as his spectacular strike was the only goal in a 1-0 win for Ten Hag’s men, but it was Mejbri that the Dutchman had fulsome praise for after the match.
