Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri is set to join Sevilla on loan.
According to leading transfer journalist and CaughtOffside columnist Fabrizio Romano, Mejbri, 20, is set to spend the second half of the season in La Liga.
Despite also being wanted by SC Freiburg and Olympique Lyon, the 20-year-old Tunisia international has agreed to link up with former Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores in Seville.

Unlikely to play a regular role in Erik Ten Hag’s starting team for the remainder of the season, Mejbri will be hoping he can impress enough in Spain to convince the Dutchman he is worth sticking with next season — that is of course, unless Sevilla successful negotiate a buy option which they later decide to trigger.
The 20-year-old’s latest loan spell will be the second of his senior career after he spent last season with Championship side Birmingham City before returning to Old Trafford in the summer.
Since then, the Red Devils’ academy graduate has gone on to feature in 12 games in all competitions, scoring one goal in the process.
This is the reason why TenHag must be sacked ASAO. Hannibal is a super talent, but because he’s not a TenHag favourite he is used sparingly, TenHag will rather pay multimillion pounds for average midfielders that he likes, what a brainless coach, not even Messi, mbappe will thrive under TenHag
Yes he has already done some great management by selling Elanga , another young stand out player, and ostracised Sancho …….nice management . Why would you sell a young Swedish 21 year old international…????
Yes what a silly boy, and Nottingham Forrest is very grateful to receive young Swedish 21 year old international for me a dynamic stand out player
Too temperamental for my liking. I’m sure his disciplinary record hasnt helped with this decision. Managers can’t be blamed for non performing players. Ten hag needs some fergy time.
