Manchester United 'approve' transfer for Everton target Hannibal Mejbri
Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri has 'completed' a move to Sevilla despite interest from Everton, according to reports.
The 20-year-old Tunisia international, who joined the Red Devils from AS Monaco back in 2017, had been heavily linked with a temporary exit from Old Trafford this season as he looks to continue his development with regular first team football and now appears to have secured a move away.

However, it now appears they have missed out on Mejbri following the latest update surrounding his future.
