Hannibal Mejbri to Stay at Manchester United Following Talks with Erik ten Hag
Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri is set to stay at the club this season after discussions with manager Erik ten Hag. The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Birmingham City in the Championship and attracted interest from several clubs.
While there were offers from English clubs, Sevilla also made an offer for Mejbri. Talks were held regarding the terms of the deal, and the Tunisia international was open to making the move to Spain. However, according to The Mirror, Mejbri has decided to stay at Manchester United following fresh talks with ten Hag.
Ten Hag sees Mejbri as a valuable option who can make a first-team impact this season. The United boss believes that it is best for the midfielder’s development to continue at the club. Mejbri has made just three senior appearances for United but impressed during his loan spell at Birmingham. He took his chances in the United team during pre-season, which led to his inclusion in ten Hag’s plans.
Midfield has been an area of concern for United in the early weeks of the season. Mason Mount is currently sidelined with an injury, and summer signing Fred has left the club to join Fenerbahce. United is also trying to offload Donny van de Beek, while Scott McTominay has attracted interest from Bayern Munich. The club is still hopeful of signing Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
United has been attempting to sign Amrabat on loan rather than meeting the £30m asking price. The midfielder is eager to join the club and has received assurances from ten Hag that a deal will be completed. Fiorentina is willing to agree to a loan move for the 26-year-old but insists on including an obligation to buy the player at the end of the season.
In other news, Manchester United continues talks with Sofyan Amrabat for a loan deal and is prepared to include a compulsory buy clause. The club also has an advantage over Chelsea in the race to sign the “next Bruno Fernandes.”
