Manchester United's stance on Hannibal Mejbri after impressive pre-season performances
08.08.2023 - 14:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United are not planning to let Hannibal Mejbri leave the club permanently in the final weeks of the transfer window, despite continued interest in his signature.
Hannibal, 20, spent last season on loan with Championship side Birmingham and has attracted plenty of interest throughout the summer.
The Manchester Evening News revealed in June that Borussia Dortmund were one of the sides interested in a potential €15million move, while clubs in England and France have also shown interest in both full transfers and loan offers.
Reports last week linked Hannibal with a loan move to Premier League new boys Luton, but talks are still ongoing regarding a potential temporary exit this month.

United's plan was always to let the Tunisian international prove himself during the pre-season schedule before making a decision on his immediate future, and he impressed club figures with his level of performance.
Erik ten Hag is a fan of the midfielder, though there are still doubts over his role next season and how much playing time he will actually get in the first team.
Hannibal made 41 appearances during his spell with Birmingham last season, and although the player does not want to leave United permanently, it would feel like a backward step if he did not play regularly next season.
United have no interest in selling him permanently this summer but they could yet sanction a loan deal before deadline day if an appropriate offer comes in.
It is in the interest of all parties for the youngster to be playing regularly, and he will only be allowed to leave on a temporary deal if assurances can be made over his playing time.
Hannibal shone in the second-half of United's
