It just the beginning of February, but Manchester United fans already know: the only silverware they can think of is the FA Cup. There is no title again this year, they are out of the Carabao Cup and in the Champions League, they are up against Spanish champions Atletico Madrid in the knockout stage. On top of that, the circus around the pitch (Martial and Lingard denying their coach in public, unhappy Ronaldo, toxic dressing room, Greenwood accusations) and the performances on the pitch are not something which the fans can appreciate. United have a shot at the FA Cup and they will try to get an easy win against Middlesbrough.FA Cup Man will be back tonight pic.twitter.com/iqmHdZE02l— Boss McSauce (@WcSauce2) February 4, 2022 Coach Rangnick agreed to let Donny van de Beek to Everton on loan, and in his absence, he needs another body to warm the bench. That man is called Hannibal Mejbri. The youngster was promoted from the youth squad and even impressed Cristiano Ronaldo at the training. The young Tunisian, who came back from AFCON recently migth even feature at some point during the match.„We have Hannibal included in the squad. He will, from now on, regularly train with us and be a regular member of the squad. To be honest, I haven’t seen that much of him as he was with the national team. I saw him play in the tournament, not the Africa Cup of Nations but the one before, the Arab Cup. I saw him play in the final and, from what I’ve seen so far, I think he’s a promising talent. He deserves to be part of the group for the rest of the season and also part of the group for tomorrow’s game“ Rangnick told MUTV.Another row between Rangnick and the player: Jesse denies he asked for extra timeThe sore feeling in the United’s camp is still the situation with Marlon Greenwood, who is suspended pending an investigation and accusations of violence, rape and threads to kill.„To be honest, I didn’t speak that much with the players about what happened, but I’m pretty sure that they did. Obviously it was a topic within the team. They’re human beings and Mason was part of the group before we had our winter break. Everybody would have wanted those things not to happen, but they did. This is what it’s all about in life, not only in professional football, that you have to stay together and be united on that and still keep going“ said Rangnick.FA Cup Round 4Friday23:00 Manchester United – MiddlesbroughSaturday15:30 Chelsea – Plymouth Argyle
