Hannibal Mejbri, the talented young midfielder for Manchester United, has recently made a move to Sevilla on loan for the remainder of the season. The loan announcement was made official by United on Monday, confirming that Hannibal will be joining Sevilla for the rest of the 2023/24 season.
It was no surprise that Hannibal would be leaving Old Trafford on loan during the January transfer window, as he had limited opportunities to play this season. Despite a last-minute inquiry from Everton, Sevilla emerged as the frontrunner for his signature, with both United and the player himself preferring a switch to Spain.
Reports suggest that the loan deal also includes an option for Sevilla to buy Hannibal, potentially bringing his time with the Red Devils to a permanent end. However, there is still a possibility for the 20-year-old to return to Old Trafford in the future, as United have included a buy-back clause in the deal.
In their statement on the United website, the club announced, "Manchester United midfielder Hannibal has joined Sevilla on loan for the remainder of the 2023/24 season. The Tunisia international will now be playing in La Liga, after securing a move to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium."
Hannibal has already made a total of 13 appearances for Man Utd, and he will now have the opportunity to help Sevilla, currently sitting in 17th place in the table, move up the ranks and avoid relegation. The club also has former Red Adnan Januzaj on their roster.
The young midfielder first joined Manchester United's youth ranks in 2019, and made his Premier League debut in the final game of the 2020/21 season against Wolverhampton Wanderers. He impressed with his skill and determination, and went on to gain more experience during a loan spell with Birmingham City in the Championship last season.
Hannibal continued to make an impact upon his return to Manchester, earning his first senior appearance under Erik ten Hag and even scoring a goal in the 3-1 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion in September. He has since made nine more appearances across various competitions.
Fans were excited to see Hannibal come on in the closing stages of the FA Cup third-round win against Wigan Athletic earlier this month, and he will now have the chance to secure regular game time in Spain. Everyone at United wishes him the best of luck in his new adventure.
