Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri has moved to Laliga side Sevilla on loan until the end of the season.
“Manchester United midfielder Hannibal has joined Sevilla on loan for the remainder of the 2023/24 season,” United said in a statement. “The Tunisia international will ply his trade in La Liga after securing a switch to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.”
The PA Agency reports that part of the deal includes Sevilla having the option to buy the 20-year-old for £ 20 million plus a further £3m in add-ons. United have also included a buy-back option and a sell-on fee if he departs elsewhere.
Hannibal joined United’s youth ranks from Monaco in 2019 and made his Premier League debut in the 2-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the final day of the 2020/21 season. A loan spell with Birmingham City in the Championship last term helped to further his experience.
Upon his return to Manchester, the 20-year-old made an impact in pre-season and marked his first senior appearance under Erik ten Hag with a goal, in the 3-1 home reverse to Brighton & Hove Albion in September.
Nine further first-team appearances have followed, across the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, Carabao Cup, and Emirates FA Cup.
