Manchester United‘s young sensation, Hannibal Mejbri, is facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford as the club’s pursuit of Sheffield United‘s Sander Berge continues to dominate the transfer headlines. The 18-year-old French midfielder has been touted as one of the most promising young players in the Premier League, but his lack of game time under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has raised concerns about his long-term prospects at the club.
The Rise of Hannibal Mejbri
Mejbri joined Manchester United in 2019 from AS Monaco for a reported fee of £9 million. The young Frenchman was highly regarded in his homeland, having been named the ‘Golden Boy’ of French football in 2018. His impressive performances for Monaco’s youth team caught the attention of several top European clubs, including United, who eventually secured his signature.
Struggle for Game Time
Despite his impressive credentials, Mejbri has struggled to break into the Manchester United first team. He has made just a handful of appearances for the club, mostly in the Europa League and FA Cup. His lack of game time has led to speculation that he could be on his way out of Old Trafford, with several clubs reportedly interested in signing him on loan.
The Pursuit of Sander Berge
Manchester United‘s pursuit of Sheffield United‘s Sander Berge has further complicated Mejbri’s situation at the club. The Norwegian midfielder has been a standout performer for the Blades since joining from Genk in January 2020. His impressive displays have caught the attention of several top clubs, including United, who are believed to be willing to pay up to £30 million for his services.
What Does the Future Hold for Hannibal Mejbri?
If Manchester United are successful in their pursuit of Sander Berge, it could spell the end of Hannibal Mejbri‘s time at Old Trafford. With the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba, and Donny van de Beek already competing for places in the midfield, Mejbri’s chances of regular game time would be severely limited. A loan move to a lower Premier League club or a return to France could be on the cards for the young Frenchman.
Conclusion
Manchester United‘s pursuit of Sander Berge has thrown Hannibal Mejbri‘s future at the club into doubt. While Mejbri has shown promise in his limited appearances for the club, the intense competition for places in the midfield could see him leave Old Trafford in search of regular game time. Only time will tell what the future holds for the young French midfielder.
